Retinol in summer?

The retinol rumours have been set straight.

You can keep your glow goals going all summer long with retinol just make sure you pair it with daily SPF, those at IMAGE Skincare have said.

With one of the highest percentages of fair-skinned people in the world - over 90% of Irish adults have fair, pale or freckled skin according to the Irish Cancer Society - protecting our skin from the sun isn’t just smart, it’s essential.

That’s why IMAGE Skincare is spotlighting its powerhouse Ageless+ Pure Liquid Retinol alongside its Daily Prevention Ultra Defense Moisturiser SPF50, making summer skincare simple and effective.

Shannon McCreery, IMAGE Skincare Ireland’s Education Manager, said: “Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, but that doesn’t mean you need to press pause in summer.

“The key is protection and SPF. The Ultra Defense SPF50 is up to the job. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and blends seamlessly under makeup or on bare skin. Retinol doesn’t need to go on holiday just because you do.

“With the right SPF by your side, your skincare results can continue all season long,” she added.
