Can natural skincare really compete with retinol, acids, and clinical actives? I’ve never used natural skincare but would love to hear from those that do!

  • I’m not totally sure but if I had a choice, I’d choose those clinically proven.

  • As much as I’d like it to, I don’t think so. And honestly unless I see some first hand research showing it does I don’t really want to risk the change.

  • If you believe all the advertising, no. When I have some quality products can definitely feel the difference.

  • Natural is great but there are negatives such as that products dont last as long so dont stock up and always check the useby dates on products.
    My skin seems to prefer products with Retinol. I have a passion for Olay
