Radical Night Repair Plus–it’s back, and better than ever!

I’ve seen and heard statements to the effect that when it comes to anti-aging, Zein Obagi, MD doesn’t mess around.

I have to agree.  And here I go again.

My  newest case in point is ZO Skin Health’s Radical Night Repair Plus. This is a product that I’ve worked on for several years, and although there was an earlier version (called Radical Night Repair), this one is even better.  Talk about no frou-frou!!

Typical drug store retinol products contain clinically insignificant amounts of retinol.  Miniscule, in fact.  Why?  Because retinol is difficult to formulate with, and because when used in high concentrations, it’s potent.  Maybe too potent for some people.  So rather than produce a lotion or cream that really works, manufacturers put in just a little.  So little, in  fact, that it’s worthless.  The industry nickname for that is “fairy dust”–like a fairy sprinkled just a little powder from her magic wand.  And if you believe in magic wands, you may believe the claims that those manufacturers make.

Here’s a tidbit that you may not know–it’s an unfortunate fact that the cosmeceutical industry is not regulated, and manufacturers are allowed to promote that a product contains retinol (or any other ingredient), even though it contains only a trace amount.  That’s not fair to you–the consumer.

That’s just not my style!  The concentration of retinol in Radical Night Repair Plus is 6X more retinol that the leading retinol product sold through drug stores and 15X the amount of retinol sold through infomercials and home shopping channels.

The high concentration of retinol in Radical Night Repair Plus enables it to work hard to awaken your cells so that they start producing collagen and enable your skin to act and look younger.

For me, this is exciting.  Radical Night Repair Plus could very well be the most effective over-the-counter anti-aging product.  In fact, I’m betting on it.

It’s a good thing, but please, don’t get too much of a good thing.  It may take your skin days or week to tolerate the high concentrations of retinol.  Please begin by applying it only once or twice a week, and as pharmaceutical manufacturers say, follow label instructions carefully.  Within weeks, you’ll be able to increase the frequency, and eventually get to apply it 7 nights per week.  And then, wow!!  You’ll see great improvement.
