TRY PIXI’S NEW
RETINOL TONIC

Imagine all the magic of retinol without the sensitive skin side effects

As a sensitive-skin wimp, I was hesitant to try retinol because of its skin-stripping reputation, but with shrunken pores, plumper skin and improved pigmentation on the promise list, I had to give this a go. Simply soak a cotton pad and sweep over cleansed skin, no need to rinse. Since the aim is to increase cell turnover, a common reaction to retinol is a mild burning sensation (eek). Thankfully the retinol inside this toner is encapsulated, so its texture-improving, plumping powers are released over time, reducing risk of sensitivity. Pixi’s Glow Tonic is already a cult bestseller, and this looks sure to follow in its footsteps. One month in and I am officially on the retinol road to glowing skin with no reaction or redness. I’m sold!
