I think retinol moisturisers are brilliant. Not only are they perfect for those with sensitive skin, who may not be able to tolerate retinol well, but they’re also a great option for those who just want a simple one or two step routine. Also they’re a saving – it’s your serum and moisturiser in one. Here are 5 Retinol Moisturisers for all Budgets.
Retinol speeds up skin cell turnover and is proven to help clear breakouts and also minimise fine lines and wrinkles. It’s the gold standard ingredient when it comes to well-ageing.
When starting to use retinol, you should only use your retinol serum or night cream a couple of times a week initially. Build up slowly, using it on an additional night weekly until you are using it at least 3 times a week. Some people suggest using a retinol every night. I find for me, the sweet spot is using it 3 times a week.
Products Featured:-
🤍 L’Oreal Paris Retinol + Niacinamide Night Cream
This has been formulated with niacinamide to support a healthy skin barrier and minimise irritation. It comes in one of those lovely fresh-press jar which are great for keeping air out of the product and stopping bacteria from your fingers entering the cream.
Price: £28.00
🤍 No7 Pure Retinol Night Repair Cream
This is really good if you’re super sensitive. No7 have made this a gentle cream on purpose – they want people to use it. It’s rich, nourishing and contains shea butter, bisabobol and peptides to ensure it’s as gentle as possible.

🤍 Kate Somerville +Retinol Vitamin C Moisturiser
This one packs quite a punch. I would avoid this one if you’re sensitive because it can be quite sensitising to the skin. This is really good for smoothing and brightening the skin. The added Vitamin C really makes this a powerful night cream that will transform the look of your skin.

This is another one that’s designed to be gentle and kind to the skin. They’ve formulated this with Ceramides, Cica, Marula Oil and Penthenol – all extremely calming and soothing ingredients.
