Hello, hello – welcome to / welcome back to A Brash Attitude!
Today I’m reviewing the Versed Press Restart Gentle Retinol Serum that I purchased and have been testing for a few weeks now. [info in italics taken from the Shoppers Drug Mart website]
Retexturizing night serum that uses gentle encapsulated retinol and two natural botanical retinol alternatives to help speed up cell turnover, boost collagen production, and smooth wrinkles without irritation.
Creamy yet light texture absorbs seamlessly into skin Made for aging, dullness, and problem skin Clean, cruelty-free, vegan.
This would be a great “starter” retinol if you are new to retinol based products, or if you have sensitive skin. After doing my usual 24 hour patch test, I started using it nightly with no irritation or dryness. The serum is milky in appearance and absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy.
Reminder – retinol really should only be used at night, and if you are using retinol, always wear SPF – you should be wearing sunscreen daily regardless of retinol usage!
Have you tried this retinol serum?
Thanks for reading

Disclosure: I purchased this!
This sounds good. I hate sticky serums!

Oh I know! I had a few patches of sun damage years ago so I had a dermatologist prescribed one. Was stripping my skin even though I user a tiny dot every two weeks😂 Toom years to build my confidence up to using retinols again x
