Well into the wee hours, our skin hops into repair and restore mode—making penetration of the product more promising. As the epidermis regenerates itself overnight, applying potent, nighttime-appropriate serums and creams becomes paramount; doing so only furthers the skin cell rebuilding process.
Meet the latest addition to Nykaa SKINRX’s Night Moisturiser range…a wrinkle repair formulation that relies on the globally sworn-by Holy Grail ingredient, retinol, targeting specific skin concerns while you’re asleep. The gold standard when we speak of anti-ageing and skin renewal, this vitamin A derivative attacks free radicals, conserves collagen stores and stimulates collagen production.
Understanding How The Hero Ingredient Works
As your skin ages, it witnesses a significant reduction in collagen production. This, in turn, facilitates the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and furrows. Upon topical application of retinol, skin cells called fibroblasts get energised, thereby accelerating collagen production. This regenerated skin is nutrient-rich, appears even-toned, and boasts elasticity and heightened cell turnover.
What Makes Nykaa SKINRX’s Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturiser Stand Out?
There are a dozen million retinol-infused products on the market. So why the Nykaa SKINRX Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturiser, you ask? Well, for firsts, the product promises to improve skin firmness by a whopping 58% within eight weeks of recommended usage. Secondly, expect a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles within two months of use, as per a published clinical study for 0.1% retinol.
The latest Nykaa offering is ideal for all skin types. It is enriched with caviar lime extract, which lends gentle exfoliation, evens skin tone, and tackles pigmentation. After cleansing your skin at night, apply a generous amount of the product to your face and neck for desired results.
Why Add Retinol To Your Nighttime Routine?
Besides diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, retinol is known to curtail hyperpigmentation, tighten your skin, even-out skin texture, boost collagen production, improve elasticity, and reduce photoaging and photodamage. The presence of phytosqualene—owing to the caviar lime extract—restores your lipid barrier, retains skin moisture, and soothes inflammation.
