As summer comes to an end, it won't be long before we need to update our skincare routines. The lack of sunlight and drying winds in the cooler months can make the skin look dull, dry and lacklustre.
Nip+Fab's Retinol Fix Serum Extreme 3% would be perfect for those looking for a nighttime fix that boosts hydration and helps reduce ageing signs. Currently reduced from £30 to £10 at Boots online, more than 100 shoppers have snapped up the bargain cream as it is available while stock lasts.
With a 4.7 out of five overall star-rating, customers have likened the Nip+Fab serum to expensive European creams. It is said to be thick in texture but glide onto the skin effortlessly. One shopper said it makes her skin 'more youthful and dewy with obvious effects of tightening', adding: "At 56, I’m impressed by the compliments when people think I’m 10 years younger. No lie, try it for yourself and see the results."
A second shopper shared: "It applies easily and feels like a luxurious thick serum. I have oily skin but this works really well on my skin type and absorbs easily. Used for a couple of months now and I’ve had no breakouts or sensitivity issues."
The Nip+Fab Retinol Fix Serum Extreme 3% contains 0.3% encapsulated pure retinol, ensuring effective skin penetration and stable slow-release delivery of retinol due to its lipophilic (oil-loving) nature. When applied, it converts to retinoic acid (the most active form of retinol) quicker and is less irritating than other forms, so it's suitable for everyone, for layering in a routine and to minimise the chance of irritation.
Other than Nip+Fab, French beauty brand RoC has also incorporated encapsulated retinol in its products and the Retinol Correxion Wrinkle Correct Serum is available at Amazon with 25% off, marked down from £24.66 to £18.49.
Kiehl's Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum claims to reduce ageing signs with minimal discomfort. It's now 20% off and available for £57.20 instead of £72.
But Nip+Fab's retinol serum is more wallet-friendly, and beauty fans have been raving about the after-use effects. A five-star customer said: "I’ve been using the retinol fix serum for about two weeks as part of my nighttime skin routine and I have noticed my skin is firmer and looks plumper in the mornings."
Another satisfied shopper has been using the product for 12 months and said the difference in her skin 'has been gradual but genuinely noticeable', adding: "My skin looks healthy and glowing, and I often catch myself thinking, 'my skin looks good'. What I really love is how simple it is — everything I need is in one place, so I’m not spending hours online hunting for the best serum or worrying about what to layer. This serum in particular hasn’t damaged my skin barrier at all, which has been a problem with other products in the past."
But some said they did not like the smell of the serum. One detailed: "I’ve given four stars as it hasn’t reduced existing fine lines. It is difficult to say but I haven’t had new fine lines appear so possibly it does work as a preventative product."
