I’ve been using a retinol face serum for a couple of months. I’m not that young anymore but obviously I don’t want my face to give the age away! I want to keep it young-looking for longer. If you have the same desires, keep reading and see how I use my favorite serum by Nanoil – the best retinol on the market. Why do I love it so much?
What is retinol?
First things first. What is retinol actually? Retinol belongs to retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A, known as the vitamin of youth! It is found in many foods (fish, fruits, vegetables) but it must be included in a face serum to really improve the skin. That’s why using a good retinol serum maintains skin’s youth for longer.
How do I use my Nanoil Retinol Face Serum?
Let’s move on to the key thing, that is the application of a retinol serum. We must be careful to avoid any skin irritations. By following a few simple rules, we can use retinol safely and easily.
How to use retinol safely then?
Retinol serum must be used on fully clean, dry face skin. After a cleanser and toner, I wait for a couple of minutes, doing something else, and then apply the serum, two drops tops – really, it is more than enough. I massage the face gently. Once the serum is fully absorbed, I apply a nutrient-rich night cream.
You know how to use retinol serums, but there are three crucial rules you must follow religiously. Here they are:
1. Always apply retinol serum at bedtime
Solar radiation may cause irritations because retinol makes the skin more sensitive to the sunlight.
2. Remember about SPF 50 cream
Sunscreen should be used every single day no matter the weather or season of the year. It is even more important when you decide on a retinol therapy! SPF cream in the morning is a must because the skin is hypersensitive to the sun.
3. Don’t use retinol every day
When you start your retinol adventure, using it once a week is fully enough. I know it may seem too little but, believe me, your skin needs time to get used to it. After two weeks (just two uses) I increased the frequency and applied it twice a week. Now – after 5 months – I use it 3 times a week. There’s no room for rush when it comes to retinol. On the other hand, it’s a good thing because one bottle lasts really long!

Nanoil Retinol is highly ranked by users. I’m not surprised at all! I like the consistency the most: it’s runny but it doesn’t run down the face. The users say the product didn’t irritate their skin. It doesn’t make my skin react either. It’s gentle on my face, not triggering redness. As far as the effects go, they are fantastic! Most of all it brightens the face and improves the condition of skin. 10 out of 10: that’s my rating for Nanoil Retinol Face Serum! I heartily recommend it.
