The Best Retinol Free Face Cream

Retinol has become a massive ingredient in face creams these days, as it has proven anti-ageing benefits, especially when it comes to improve lines and skin texture, which we all know are hard to improve. As good as the retinol results can be, for some people it is too strong an ingredient for skin, and so we feel that it is better to use face creams with natural ingredients instead. The results will not be so visible but your skin should be happier in itself, which we feel allows better overall skin functioning and anti-ageing benefits.

At Nakin using natural skincare and being kind to skin is our whole philosophy. Our products are made with natural and plant ingredients that help skin to look fresh without the irritation that ingredients like retinol cause. Instead, we use high quality natural ingredients that have lots of anti-ageing benefits, and this is why we believe that we have the best retinol free face creams, with our Matt Formula Face Cream for oilier skin types and Active Dew Face Cream for drier skin types. They are filled with some of the best botanical ingredients such as hydrating hyaluronic acid, plumping cassia and protecting pomegranate.

The Best Retinol Free Face Cream

At Nakin all of our natural anti-ageing products are retinol free and this is because we do not believe in using retinoids in our face care, as it is a strong ingredient that can be damaging to skin. Retinol is a synthetic form of vitamin A and used in many anti-ageing and acne treatments as it helps to stimulate collagen production, improve cell turnover, and unclog pores. Retinol can also help to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. There are many different over-the-counter retinol products available, but it is important to be aware of the potential effects of using a cream with retinoids in. They can be irritating to all skin types, and particularly sensitive skin. While retinol can offer some benefits, such as improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it can also cause side effects like dryness, redness, and irritation.

At Nakin all of our products are anti-ageing, and we have two retinol free face creams that are designed for both day and night use, as they do not contain SPF. The Matt Formula Face Cream is a lovely moisturiser for oily, normal, combination and sensitive skin. It has long lasting hydration, nourishment and protection but without greasiness. If your skin is drier though we recommend the Active Dew Face Cream instead. If your skin is combination both would work, so it would depend on the dominant skin type of oily or dry skin. Or they can be chosen based on the preferred face cream finish, if a dewier look is preferred or not. They are both packed with natural actives and extracts that are really rejuvenating to skin. As well as not containing retinol, they are also free from ingredients such as parabens, propylene glycol plus silicones, and have a delicate natural scent, as our products are kind to even sensitive skin.

Award-Winning Retinol Free Face Creams

Our award-winning face creams stand out for their innovative approach to skincare, offering exceptional results without the use of retinol. Many people seek alternatives to retinol due to its potential to cause irritation, dryness, and sensitivity, particularly for those with delicate or easily reactive skin. Our formulations prioritise natural and nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, pomegranate, and plant oils, ensuring your skin stays hydrated, smooth, and rejuvenated. The creams are celebrated for being suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin, giving users a gentle yet effective solution to achieve a radiant complexion. Choosing Nakin means investing in high-quality skincare that is both cruelty-free and environmentally conscious, making it a worthwhile addition to your daily routine. 

Our face creams are carefully formulated with a blend of natural ingredients, ensuring that your skin receives all the nourishment it needs without the harsh anti-ageing chemicals like retinoids . instead, the hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture in the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Cassia extract is also used for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect against environmental stressors. Plant oils such as argan and jojoba provide deep hydration and nourishment, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple . All of these ingredients work together to provide a powerful yet gentle solution for healthy, glowing skin.

One of the main reasons why Nakin's retinol-free face creams have gained such popularity is their suitability for all skin types. Unlike other retinol-based products that can cause irritation and dryness, Nakin's creams offer a gentler alternative that is suitable even for those with sensitive or reactive skin. This makes it a go-to option for many people who struggle to find skincare products that work well with their specific skin type.

We do understand that retinol is popular though and if you do want to use a retinol face cream then we recommend selecting one that is suitable for your skin type, plus start with a lower concentration retinol product and only increase use gradually if your skin is able to tolerate it.

At Nakin we have a full range of natural anti-ageing skincare which is all retinol free and instead uses the power of plants to help skin look its best. Everything in the range is made in the UK and cruelty free.
