As a woman living under the influence of Western culture, it is often overwhelming to try to maintain the youthful appearance promoted by perpetually wrinkle-free celebrities and advertisements for the cosmetics industry. Unfortunately, this writer and product tester developed premature wrinkles and other telltale signs of aging while still a young woman. I blame too much time spent in the sun as a girl, poor lifestyle habits and a propensity towards frowning (no, I’m not perpetually unhappy, it’s just my face). Whatever the cause, at the tender age of 26, I’m commonly mistaken for being years older than my 30-year-old sister.
Fortunately, I was recently lucky enough to be able to test a variety of revolutionary anti-aging skincare products distributed by a company called Biopelle, Inc. Biopelle generously allowed me to test several of their cutting edge skincare products free of charge, and I can now proudly say that my skin is looking much firmer and more luminous and that my wrinkles are diminishing.
With regular use of the various Biopelle product lines, I am confident that I can continue to turn back the hands of time and repair the damage I’ve done, while also preventing further damage. I feel blessed to have discovered one of the secrets to younger looking skin so early on in life, so that I can enjoy the benefits of a youthful appearance for many years to come.
One of my favorite Biopelle products is a Retinol product called Retriderm Vitamin A Serum. This was my first experience with using a retinoid product, which provides a powerful and natural source of Vitamin A. Studies have shown that Vitamin A (in the form of retinoids), is fundamental for building healthy skin, boosting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. As a result, skin becomes firmer, softer and smoother, fine lines and wrinkles are diminished and luminosity and radiance are restored.
Retriderm Vitamin A Serum is so effective at promoting healthy, youthful skin that it is only available through a qualified medical professional, but it is not as harsh or drying as prescription strength retinoids. Retriderm is available in a variety of strengths, offering the perfect formula for any age group or skin type. The original Retriderm Vitamin A Serum provides 0.5% retinol, Retriderm Serum EXTRA provides 0.75%, and the most potent option, Retriderm Serum ULTRA provides a full one percent retinol.
What makes Retriderm Serum more effective than other retinol products is a unique delivery system that allows the product to be more easily absorbed by the skin. As a result, the product is more effective at treating wrinkles and promoting a youthful appearance. Retriderm Serum can be applied in the morning or at night, but a daily sunscreen is recommended when using this retinoid product due to increased sensitivity to UV rays (and should be used regardless if you want to avoid wrinkles and other sun damage).
After using the original Retriderm Vitamin A Serum nightly for several weeks, I am highly impressed with the results and will continue to use this product for years to come. I especially like how glowing and luminous it leaves my skin and that it improves my skin’s tone and texture without any irritation or dryness. As someone who still struggles with breakouts from time to time, I was happy to observe that Retriderm doesn’t clog my pores like some other anti-aging products.
Prices range depending upon the strength of the product and the individual medical professional, but an average price is around $55. Judging from my current usage, I would estimate that a single bottle (1 fl. oz.) would last for several months.
Retriderm doesn’t require a prescription, but it is sold exclusively through the offices of qualified medical professionals and dermatologists. Visit the Biopelle website at www.biopelle.com to find a medical professional near you who carries the Retriderm line of products.
