SKOON. is test-driving Vitamin A
Like to join us for the trip?

The onset of colder weather and reduced sun exposure during May/June in the Southern Hemisphere is the perfect time to reset your skin - with intensive, rejuvenating treatments.

SKOON. has decided to test-drive one of our bestsellers, RETININ Retinal 0.1% resurfacing cream, against a prescription vitamin A product.

I suggest you first read my in-depth blog to find out Everything you need to know about Vitamin A in skin care.

When I started writing about Vitamin A for this blog post, the idea of a small in-house trial suddenly dawned on me. Amazingly enough, I have never personally used vitamin A. I can’t think why ever not. (creature of habit, not! ☺).

For this 30-day product test drive, I am going to apply RETININ Retinal 0.1% resurfacing cream on my left cheek … complete with one, solitary big liver spot. (Am I the only one thinking so - but even the words ‘liver spot’ sound like something you want to banish immediately!)

On my other cheek, I will apply a prescription-based retinoic acid – brand name Retin-A.

If you’d like to join the SKOON. the trial, we’d love that.

We have our Dream Team duo pack on special at the moment – available at skoonskin.co.za or at select beauty and wellness retailers. This pack includes Wow-Wow Wonder with 3% Vitamin C and the RETININ Retinal 0.1% resurfacing cream, which you’ll need for your trial.
How it’ll work:
Step #1: Select your routine.
Here is mine as an example.
Make sure your routine is suited to your skin type – don’t be shy to customise

Step #2: Kick-off is..
Friday, 8 June 2020 and the duration is 30 days.
Step #3: Define your goals.
Mine is as follows:

Explore the complete experience of retinal vs retinoic acid.
Improvement of my pigmentation?
Improvement of skin texture and resiliency?
I am keeping my goals realistic since it usually takes at least 8 weeks before you see real results.
Step #4: Keeping track.
Photographs are the best way to keep track of your progress. I plan to take one beforehand and then once a week, same day, time and lighting.

Feel free to post photos and comments during the 4 weeks (+2 days☺) of your own journey.
Step #5: The big reveal of our results.
After four weeks, we will meet up here again for a final discussion to evaluate and compare our experiences.
Let’s get going!

PS: Remember to take pics of your progress! Before, During, and After.
