As I have mentioned in the past I have been using heavy duty retinol for several months now. While it has worked miracles on my skin (goodbye acne and the beginning of fine lines and wrinkles) it feels incredibly harsh on my face and often times leaves it dry and peeling. I have known all along that as my skin calmed down and normalized again I would ease off using retinol on a daily basis. It’s a fantastic product and I’m incredibly grateful to have been prescribed it but there are chemicals in it that, in a perfect world, I wouldn’t be applying to my body.
It is well known at this point that our bodies absorb a large amount of topical products into our bloodstreams. What is not fully known is what the long term effects of using products ridden with chemicals will be. In an effort to find a more natural approach to anti-aging and a way to continue using a retinol-like product I jumped at the opportunity to try OZ Naturals’ Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer. I had previously heard of OZ Naturals, a US based company that was founded with a goal to create healthier, efficacious skin care products to help those of us that weren’t born with perfect skin. A quick Google search led me to the product’s Amazon page and the astounding 4.5 star average taken from 2,000+ reviews. I knew there had to be something to a product that many people were raving about.
