Beauty IQ Uncensored

Vitamin A is often called the gold-standard skincare ingredient — but between retinol, tretinoin, and bakuchiol, how do you know which one’s right for you?  This week on Beauty IQ Expert, skin therapist Tegan breaks down the differences between each form of Vitamin A, including when to start, how to use them safely, and which products actually deliver results.  We cover everything from the pea-sized rule to SPF pairings, and bust common myths (like whether retinol thins your skin or can’t be used in summer).  Plus, in Win, Bin or Recycle, we test the trend of retinol body care, and in Adore Anonymous, a listener asks if separate face and body sunscreens are really necessary — or just clever marketing.
