Alternative Retinol Cosmetics

Winky Lux Launched its In The Clouds Retinol Alternative Product

Winky Lux is launching a range of new products throughout 2022, including its In The Clouds Retinol Alternative. The new product is the brand's highlighted item this year. Winky Lux also refers to the Retinol cosmetic item as its Cloud Cream due to its unique formula.

In The Clouds Retinol Alternative is formulated as a cream oil. It is powered by bakuchiol, a plant-derived ingredient that replicates the function of retinol. The retinol alternative is ideal for those with sensitive skin. It has all the benefits of retinol without the irritation and dryness it may cause. In addition, bakuchiol is gentle enough for daily use. Other ingredients in the formula include cloudberry extract, vegan collagen, and Kakadu plum.
