Know why you need a coffee scrub in your skincare regime
Coffe is an age-old exfoliator that is known for its amazing skin-loving benefits. Know how and why a coffee scrub is a must in the skincare regime no matter how your skin type is.
Re’equil is such a cosmetic brand that I have a lot of trust in. The brand always does a lot of research work before formulating any product.
At the time of writing, from skincare to hair care, the brand has launched numerous amazing products. I am an avid user of their sunscreen. It does have a wonderful formulation.
Very recently, the brand has launched 3 Retinol-based Night Creams with 3 different concentrations of Retinol. And, I am pretty excited about the new launches. Let me share about the products in brief.
What is Retinol?
Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, transforms into retinoic acid, initiating a range of cellular processes that boost the production of elastin and collagen, diminish melanin, and enhance skin firmness, elasticity, and minimise hyperpigmentation.

Does Retinol/Retinol-Based Products Trigger Skin Purging?
Following the application of Retinol, you may encounter an initial phase where your skin condition temporarily worsens, manifesting as redness, flaking, and irritation.
This occurrence is attributed to retinol’s stimulation of cell turnover, prompting the expulsion of trapped debris and dead skin cells onto the skin’s surface.
This temporary purging signifies that the product is actively engaging with your skin.
1. Re’equil 0.1 Percent Retinol Night Cream
The 0.1% Retinol Night Cream provides a gentle concentration of retinol, ideal for individuals embarking on their retinol regimen.
This concentration is also optimal for sensitive skin types unable to tolerate higher levels of retinol.

2. Re’equil 0.3 Percent Retinol Night Cream
The 0.3% Retinol Night Cream provides an intermediary concentration suitable for individuals whose skin has been previously exposed to retinol and requires a more potent formula to address stubborn pigmentation and acne.
For those with sensitive skin, it is recommended to commence with a low frequency and quantity. Begin with 2-3 applications per week, utilizing only a pea-sized amount for the entire face.
The 0.3% Retinol Night Cream possesses sebostatic properties that help regulate the sebaceous glands’ activity, thereby managing excessive oily shine.
Additionally, it aids in normalizing keratinization, preventing the accumulation of dead skin cells within pores.
Consequently, this diminishes pore congestion and minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores, a prevalent issue for individuals with oily skin.

3. Re’equil 0.5 Percent Retinol Night Cream
The 0.5% Retinol Night Cream delivers potent exfoliation through a unique mechanism distinct from physical or chemical exfoliants.
It initiates cellular processes that indirectly promote exfoliation, thereby yielding long-lasting results.
The 0.5% Retinol Night Cream represents an elevated concentration suitable for skin previously exposed to retinol.
As your skin adapts and develops tolerance to lower concentrations, transitioning gradually to 0.5% Retinol is recommended.
This formulation aids in diminishing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting elastin and collagen production, resulting in a revitalized and vibrant complexion.
