Product Information

Retinol’s main purpose is to reduce signs of ageing and to help fade pigmentation and acne scars, while also unclogging and reducing pores, so we assessed whether incorporating this regime into our skincare routine could really achieve this. Owing to the fact retinol makes your skin more sensitive to UV, we also made sure we used SPF every day. One of the main benefits of glycolic acid is its ability to exfoliate the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, more radiant skin. But like we said, glycolic acid offers a host of other benefits, such as boosting skin hydration and stimulating new collagen production. So take it slow, listen to your skin and always ensure you’re wearing a moisturising sunscreen that is at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, as your skin is more sensitive to the light after using a retinol treatment. The retinol is then able to boost the production of elastin and collagen in the middle layer of the skin - and this is what helps to achieve that desirable plumped up skin, improving the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and enlarged pores.

Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads are single-use pads soaked in 2.8% glycolic acid that are designed to retexturize and resurface skin. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that has a small molecular weight, which means it can penetrate the skin very easily. It exerts anti-inflammatory, keratolytic, and antioxidant effects, and functions as both an exfoliator and a moisturizer. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, more radiant skin. One problem with several of the Nip and Fab skincare products, such as the Nip and Fab glycolic pads and the Dragon’s Blood Fix Plumping Serum, is that they contain high concentrations of denatured alcohol. Denatured alcohol is well known to cause skin dryness, irritation, and even disruption of the skin barrier, especially when used in high concentrations. Where are Nip and Fab skincare products sold?There are lots of different types of retinoids, and retinol is just one of these. Similar to how there are lots of different types of fruit, but not all fruit is the same or has the same properties - a strawberry is very different to an orange! Another key ingredient in Nip and Fab skincare products is salicylic acid, a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA). Since it is lipid soluble, salicylic acid easily enters the pore, where it exfoliates the pore lining and loosens clogged dirt and oil. It also has the ability to dissolve keratin, the protein that acts as a “glue” to keep dead skin cells together in the stratum corneum. This is effective because dead skin cells can build up on the surface of your skin, leaving it looking dull and also possibly clogging pores. If you breakout out often you might want to try the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Line. The glycolic acid sloughs away dead skin cells that can clog pores. I love that this is gentle enough for most skin types. This skincare line is gentle yet extremely effective and does exactly what it says it will do.”

One of the most common questions people have is whether you can use retinol with vitamin c and the short answer to that is yes , but there are some precautions you should be taking with this. We've got a blog that covers the ins and outs of that topic, if you want to find out more. If you experience no problems, you can begin to increase your usage to every other day and then every day. As with many other skincare products you may need to experiment to find the best usage for your skin and never continue to use the product if your skin begins to feel irritated. On Influenster, some customers also stated that Nip + Fab products didn’t do anything to improve the quality of their skin. Others even reported their complexions became worse after using their cleansers and serums. However, most people should be absolutely fine with using this product, even if you have sensitive skin. Many dermatologists agree that sensitive skin can be trained to tolerate retinol and there are products on the market containing retinol that are specifically designed for sensitive skin.time-release complex: Containing 0.3% encapsulated pure retinol, ensuring effective skin penetration and stable delivery of retinol due to lipophilic (oil-loving) nature
