Joanna Vargas Super Nova Serum ($295)
As someone with super sensitive skin, finding a retinol that doesn't leave my skin red and flakey is always a challenge. But the Joanna Vargas Super Nova Serum is formulated with calming ingredients, including chamomile, to help calm and soothe skin from irritation and redness.
What We Love
- I appreciate how this retinol formula not only improves the texture of my skin by reducing my pores and leaves my complexion visibly brighter but also boosts my skin's natural hydration by only using this 3 to 4 evenings a week. I know it's pricey, but considering this is the only retinol on the market that effectively works without flaring up my rosacea — I'd say it's worth it, especially for the sensitive skin girlies out there. Plus, 2-3 drops per use goes a very long way.
Who It's Best For
- People with sensitive skin who want to incorporate retinol into their evening skincare regimen.
The Details
- This antioxidant-rich formula does everything from improving skin's texture, reducing acne, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, tightening and firming, and visibly brightening skin, all while keeping it moisturized even during the winter months. Before hitting the sack, I usually layer on a water-based night cream or overnight mask for some additional moisture.
