PRODUCT UPDATE

I recommend an upgrade in your skincare routine! Once you complete your current retinol product, we highly advise transitioning to a retinal (retinaldehyde) product.

This change will provide you with significantly better results, and it prepares you for the future, as retinol is expected to be phased out over the next few years.

Retinal is a More Potent Alternative
The other reason for the transition is driven by efficacy and chemistry.

• The Conversion Process: For any Vitamin A derivative (like Retinol or Retinal) to work on your skin, it must be converted into its active form, Retinoic Acid (Tretinoin).

• Retinol requires a two-step conversion (Retinol \bm{\rightarrow} Retinal \bm{\rightarrow} Retinoic Acid)

• Retinal (Retinaldehyde) only requires a one-step conversion (Retinal \bm{\rightarrow} Retinoic Acid)

• Increased Efficacy: Because Retinal is one step closer to the active form, it is significantly more potent and effective than the same concentration of Retinol.

Volufiline (vuhl-yoo-fuh-leen )
The Plumping Ingredient

Volufiline is a patented ingredient used in skincare that is known for its lipo-filling or volume enhancing effects. It’s often included in products that aim to restore a youthful, plump look to the skin. 🎊 you had me at “restore youthful”

🔬 How Does Volufiline Work?
The main active component of Volufiline is sarsasapogenin, an oil-soluble extract from the roots of the Asian plant Anemarrhena asphodeloides.

✨ Common Applications in Skincare
Volufiline is typically found in serums and creams designed for:

• Targeted Plumping: Areas of the face that tend to lose volume with age, such as cheeks, temples, under-eyes, and smile lines.

• Smoothing Wrinkles: The plumping effect can help to visibly smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Body Contouring: It is sometimes used in products for the breasts or buttocks to promote a fuller appearance.

Hello Costco, do you carry Volufiline I need a couple of vats! 🤭

⚠️ Important Considerations
• Not a Replacement for Filler: While often marketed as “topical filler,” dermatologists generally note that the effects are much subtler and temporary compared to injectable dermal fillers.

• Use in Formulations: Volufiline is a raw material, and as such, should only be used in professionally formulated skincare products, not applied directly to the skin on its own.

Anyone Else Battling Melasma?

Yes, melasma is generally considered a chronic condition. This means it’s long-lasting, often for three months or more, and can persist for years or even a lifetime for some individuals.

* Recurrence is common: Even after successful treatment, melasma often recurs, especially with continued exposure to triggers like sun or hormonal changes.

* Ongoing management: Due to its tendency to return, melasma often requires long-term maintenance, including strict sun protection and ongoing treatment regimens, to keep the pigmentation under control.

* No permanent cure: While treatments can significantly lighten the dark patches and improve appearance, there isn’t a definitive “cure” that eliminates the possibility of melasma ever returning.
However, it’s worth noting that in some cases, particularly when triggered by temporary factors like pregnancy (often called “the mask of pregnancy”) or certain medications, melasma may fade or even disappear on its own after the trigger is removed. But for many, it’s a condition that needs ongoing attention.
