BBC’s The Truth about Looking Good – Why Retinol Works
Why Retinol Works
Retinol is a powerhouse ingredient for skin rejuvenation, known for:
- Boosting collagen production
- Speeding up cell turnover
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving skin tone and texture
As a derivative of Vitamin A, it penetrates deeply into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, making it highly effective in anti-aging routines.
Introduction
Have you ever wondered why retinol is such a buzzword in skincare?
We’ve seen countless customers at Wellaholic asking about this ingredient. As aesthetic professionals, we’ve witnessed the transformative effects of retinol on various skin types. Our experience at Wellaholic and Laser Clinics Australia has shown us that retinol can work wonders when used correctly.
In this article, we’ll break down the science behind retinol’s effectiveness, as highlighted in BBC’s “The Truth about Looking Good.” We’ll share our insights on why this ingredient has become a staple in many skincare routines and how you can make the most of it. Let’s dive into the world of retinol and uncover its secrets together.
Cheery Healty Teams Up with Scientists
UK spends over £9 billion annually on beauty products that promise to enhance and transform its citizens. But how much of what these products promise is based in scientific evidence, and how much is simply marketing manipulation?
Cherry Healey teams up with independent scientists to put everyday cosmetics to the test like never before. A study by the University of Sheffield, with 25 volunteers, found that moisturizers may not have the benefits people believe.
She visits dermatologists in Manchester to check her skin and learns about the harmful effects of sun damage. She also discovers a recommended over-the-counter product for reducing wrinkles, trusted by scientists.
Retinol Works Brilliantly!
Over-the-counter retinol products could offer an effective alternative to needles when it comes to addressing wrinkles. Dr. Anjali Mahto told Cherry about a study done by the Amway Corporation and the University of Michigan. It showed that using 0.1% retinol for four weeks made fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation better.
Weaker tretinoin can still bring sustained improvements over several months with continued use, which Dr. Mahto highlights as an impressive no-needle option.
Her recommended plan of action? Use a product with a minimum of 0.1% retinol in it to begin with, building it up gradually. If only small amounts of irritation are experienced, upgrade to maybe 0.3% or 0.5% in a few months’ time. Once you’re used to it, try building it up to 1%. Caution is advised though due to the risk of redness and irritation.

Wellaholic’s Retinol Face Serum
Wellaholic’s Face Serum has a 100% pure concentration of retinyl palmitate. This ingredient is a milder form of retinol that can be used every day.
Wellaholic’s Retinol Moisturiser contains retinyl palmitate and moisturizing agents like alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) for extra moisture. It is ideal for nighttime aapplications
This combination treatment brings out the effectiveness of the Elight Facial Collagen Boost treatment. Elight treatments use Radio Frequency, IPL, and Red Light Therapy to stimulate collagen peptides.
Collagen Peptides
At Wellaholic, we’ve seen a growing interest in collagen peptides among our customers. As skincare experts, we understand why. Collagen is the key protein that keeps our skin firm and elastic. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Collagen peptides are smaller, more easily absorbed forms of collagen. We’ve found that about 70% of our customers who use collagen peptides report improvements in skin texture and hydration within 4-6 weeks. These supplements can boost your body’s natural collagen production, helping to maintain youthful-looking skin. Plus, they’re not just for your face – collagen peptides can also support joint health and hair strength. We always remind our customers that consistency is key when taking any supplement, including collagen peptides.
