WARNING - Retinol Is Harmful For Daytime Use!

Retinol is not all Bad! For certain anti-aging wrinkle free eyes, it is wonderful.

But, you need to Be Careful of When, How and Who you allow to use it. Retinol has chemical products that do not mix well with sunshine, and has been known to enhance wrinkles and skin cancer! Like you, I was completely shocked and irate that no one is making this information known. So, here I am. Providing some information that most corporate giants do not want to discuss.

Sort of reminds me of a movie we saw about 10 years ago where the skin care was making the women ugly, and they were being held hostage over the TV. Our hero exposed the radical clown in his attempts to change the world with his products, that were actually making them just as ugly as he was.

The Facts are actually plastered out there. Retinol has vitamin A. Vitamin A has components that break down when exposed to the sun and air. They do not keep well if not stored in a pump or tube, and should be used quickly over a few weeks.

Never use retinol or derivatives with vitamin A in lipsticks, foundations or sunscreens. As a matter of fact, I am telling you NEVER buy any products that have retinol in their ingredients unless they are in a night cream, and can be washed off in the morning.

Why anyone would put it in a cleanser makes no sense, especially when marked as an anti aging product.

And PLEASE if you know someone who is pregnant, be a busy body and go through her products! Make sure none of them have retinol or vitamin A.

An ingredient called, Tretinoin, is in stronger retinol based products and should be used sparingly. The ingredients that include Tretinoin, actually help deep wrinkles and can help in the fight against anti-aging in the eye and lip areas. But, there are some persons with sensitive skin who may find that Tretinoin has been known to dry out and cause flaking around sensitive areas of the skin, especially under the eyes.

Vitamin A is good! Please do not misunderstand the message. It has important ingredients that reverse sun damage. Vitamin A helps produce healthy cell production and keeps our immunities strong. But topically, in skin care products, the key is to not over indulge. When it comes to your eyes in anti-wrinkle creams or products, use small amounts and wash it off after about 8 hours of sleep.

I hope this helps you make good choices in your skin care regime.
