Retinol products have soared in popularity over the last decade thanks to their transformative effects on the skin, widely regarded by experts and enthusiasts as one of the most powerful skincare ingredients out there.
Nip + Fab is known for its Retinol Fix range, which includes serums, creams, treatments, and even a retinol sheet mask so users can incorporate the ingredient into their daily routine.
The brand has recently undergone a revamp, shaking up the ingredients used for an even-better formula.
To get more technical, Nip + Fab has moved from using retinyl palmitate over to encapsulated pure retinol, which not only means it works more effectively, but it’s also less likely that there will be potential irritation when used with other active ingredients. Retinol is the purest form of Vitamin A and is 20% more potent than Retinyl Palmitate.
Another great benefit to pure retinol is that it can penetrate the stratum corneum (that’s the very top layer of skin to you and me) more effectively due to its lipophilic, or oil-loving, nature.
Its hero range has no shortage of reviews online praising the products – particularly when it comes to reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
One shopper commented: ‘Noticed a big difference in fine lines in only a couple of weeks. I’d definitely buy again for sure.’
While another said: ‘This product feels and smells as though you’re spreading luxury on your skin. In the morning, skin is noticeable smoother and healthy looking. It’s my favourite nighttime face product. [sic]’
And a third mused of the effects of use: ‘Love this product. Great overnight. Skin felt great and nice and smooth in the morning. Only just started using it along with some other products and already seeing a difference.’
Others commented on how it made their skin feel more plump and youthful, with one raving: ‘I started using as I wanted to postpone my wrinkles and give my face a natural, youthful plump, and it’s worked. I love my skin, I feel more confident, more youthful. Definitely recommend.’
This brand also has some convincing stats to back up its claims, with a clinical trial of 30 participants over four weeks, using products three times a week in the evening only, claiming that applying Retinol Fix products can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in four weeks, with an incredible 93% agreeing this was the best anti-wrinkle product range they have ever used.
The brand also boasts some pretty impressive before and after pictures, to show the real-life effects of the products.
What we like best is that what appears to be an effective range is an affordable one, in the grand scheme of skincare, and therefore accessible to many.
With prices currently starting at £5.95 for the Retinol Fix sheet mask and the Retinol Fix Serum currently available for £22.45 (FYI, there’s a flash sale on at the moment on Retinol Fix products on the brand’s website), trying the brand needn’t break the bank.
