My beauty regimen is important to me because I’m passionate about taking care of my skin. I recently discovered the KARYNG skincare line by Dr. Karyn Grossman, a renowned board-certified dermatologist. She’s the go-to dermatologist for most celebrities.
One of her products that I recently incorporated into my beauty regimen is KARYNG Retinol Renewing Serum. Before I share my take on it here’s some info about the product itself.
Product:
KARYNG Retinol Renewing Serum ($95)
The Claim:
Developed with Pro-Verte™, a proprietary patent-pending natural anti-aging and anti-inflammatory complex. This complex is fueled with anti-oxidants and combines the latest innovations in skincare to help refine and restore skin, reducing the appearance of redness and irritation associated with most retinol treatments.
This product claims to reduce the appearance of deep lines and fine lines while decrease the appearance of frown lines as well as the appearance of pore size. It also increases cell turnover and increase collagen. Wrinkle reduction up to 53% after 7 days and firmness and elasticity increased within 15 days.
The Ingredients:
Pro-Vert Technology – The ultimate anti-aging booster, this proprietary complex of powerful anti-imflammatory and antioxidant ingredients designed to combat the visible and harmful effects inflammation while repairing and restructuring the skin.
Retinol in kemSpheres(.2%) – A unique delivery system that stabilizes retinol and significantly reduces skin irritation commonly experienced with retinol use.
AquaCell – A natural complex combining watermelon rind extract, lentil fruit extract and apple extract in an optimized delivery system that provides the skin with 24 hours of hydration while significantly reducing fine lines after just two hours.
p-REFINYL® – A natural plant derived ingredient that is clinically proven to reduce pore size.
How To Use It:
Pump a small amount onto fingertips and smooth onto face prior to applying Restructuring Night Cream. Start every other PM and increase to nightly as tolerated. Use SPF30 + containing product while using retinol and avoid sun exposure. Avoid use on inflamed or irritated skin.
My Take:
This serum looks and feels light like a lightweight moisturizer than a serum. I us this at night and apply this over coconut oils and seal it with a night cream. I have extremely sensitive skin and after the first week of use, my skin started to peel. Unlike other retinol products my face did not get red. After I exfoliated the dead skin I noticed my skin got softer and brighter.
I’ve been using this product for over two weeks now and I love how my complexion looks. My pores are less noticeable too and my skin feels firmer.
This serum is now part of my nightly beauty routine. I’m thinking about getting their Complete Broad Spectrum SPF 50 and Restructuring Night Cream to optimize my beauty regimen. Or better yet, I may want to visit her in her Santa Monica office to get an A-list skin treatment!
