You can usually use an acid peel or acid toner and then retinol afterwards but, as I say in the video, I tend not to. I suppose I just don’t like doing too many things at once!

AHA acids (like lactic and glycolic) exfoliate the surface of the skin so they make it look really bright and renewed. The wipe-over-and-leave peel pads are a really handy way of using acids.

Retinol is a different beast and something of an anti-ageing powerhouse - there’s pretty much no skin ageing issue it doesn’t tackle. Fine lines, lack of firmness, dullness, proper wrinkles… The ones I’ve shown here are a mixed bag.

I don’t know the potency of the retinol in This Works No Wrinkles Night Repair, I just love the texture, smell and general brightening and hydrating effect.

It’s currently on sale at Amazon for £35 here*: https://amzn.to/2mME79j
