Their Money is on Retinoids

The editors at Allure Magazine no one thing for sure...retinoids work. "We try every new anti-aging product, from the rice fields of Japan to the labs of Long Island. But the cream that earn a permanent place in our medicine cabinets all have one thing in common: retinoids, the family of vitamin A derivitives including retinol, Retin-A and Renova," said Allure beauty editor Diana Byrne.

Night Rainew® contains retinyl palmitate, vitamin C, and 4 peptides that have been proven to directly stimulate collagen and are less harsh on your skin then vitamin A derivities alone. The difference is that vitamin A indirectly helps with collagen production by simply increasing cell turnover.

Why Does My Skin Need To Stay Hydrated?

Your skin is always thirsty. When your skin is dehydrated it appears dry, brittle and can crack. Keeping your skin healthy and hydrated makes your skin soft and supple. According to Sephora.com, to determine whether your skin is dry simply “lay your finger just above your jaw line, extending it toward the chin. Then gently glide your fingers upward toward the cheekbone. If you notice any sort of creepiness to your skin texture as you work your finger up your face, your skin is parched.”

Additionally, it is important to keep your skin hydrated at night. April Rain®’s ultra-hydrating, age-defying, night repair cream Night Rainew® provides long-lasting moisture with groundbreaking and intelligent, time-released hydration. It’s the only nighttime cream clinically proven to restore, protect and continually supply renewing hydration to skin exactly where and when skin craves it.
