Specialist Skincare Creams

You only need to turn on your television during an ad break to discover that there are many hundreds of different types of skincare products on the market today that claim they can improve skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or the appearance of age spots, etc.

Many of these products are sold as “cosmeceuticals” which is a term used to describe products that fall somewhere between cosmetics and pharmaceutical drugs. The term refers to a product which is marketed as a cosmetic, but which contains biologically active ingredients that have an effect on the user. Products that fall into the cosmeceutical category can contain active ingredients such as Vitamins A, C, and E, Panthenol, Essential Fatty Acids, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Ginkgo Biloba, Aloe Vera, Jojoba, Allantoin, Urea, and even Prickly Pear!

With such a broad range of skincare products available, both on the high street and exclusively from beauty salons, spas, or cosmetic surgery clinics; it can become a minefield trying to discover which ones, if any, offer visible and proven results.

Currently, most cosmetic dermatologists and consultant surgeons are in agreement about the efficacy of only one skincare treatment available, whose active ingredient is called tretinoin, a retinoid made from Vitamin A, and available by private prescription in the UK as a product called Retinova®.

Tretinoin is best known as an anti-acne treatment, however medical trials in the 1980s revealed that it could indeed reduce the appearance of fine facial wrinkles and some facial hyperpigmentation (or age spots). It appears that tretinoin works by stimulating the production of collagen, which improves the skin’s appearance, and by also reducing the production of the pigment or melanin in the skin. As a result of this, tretinoin became the first and only prescription drug able to claim that it could improve the roughness and fine wrinkling of sun damaged skin. As a result, many practitioners now recommend the use of tretinoin as part of a skin rejuvenation treatment package.

The only adverse effects associated with this treatment, experience by most people when they commence using it, are mild to moderate skin irritations, such as dryness, redness, burning, stinging, itching and mild peeling. These effects can be controlled by introducing the product to the skin in small, timely amounts on advice from your practitioner.

Private costs for Retinova® 0.05% tretinoin cream, supplied by prescription are approximately £25.00/tube. It is however possible to purchase tretinoin products, including Retinova, directly via global online pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription. We would, however, strongly advise you not to begin using this product without first seeing a specialist.
