Although spring season is just around the corner we’re still in the deep dry winter months, where our skin needs that extra attention to either keep up its hydration level or needs an extra boost to maintain that healthy glow. I love to find new skincare formulas each season to add to my skincare routine. There are quite some interesting and very effective skincare launches that have gone through my test drive for the season.
All these products are newly launched and are highly effective to reduce fine lines/wrinkles, even out skin tone, and adding plumpness to the skin. You can add any of these to your skincare routine depending on your skin needs or can use them together to target any specific skin concerns at once.

Its ideal to use it use twice a week on non-consecutive days with the applicator. Those with sensitive skin may want to start by applying with fingers or using once a week.
I’ve been pleasantly impressed with all these new launches. I am in full retinol treatment for the past couple of months and I am continuing with the Dr. Dennis Gross Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Intense Wrinkle Cream twice a week which has clearly made a huge difference in how my overall skin looks right now. And all the above products have gone through my testing period, and I’ve been really impressed with their performances. You want to make sure you use a nice sunscreen with your retinol treatment.
