The Retinol Whisperer: Daniel Isaacs Spills Medik8's Skin Secrets

Retinol lovers, your skincare prayers have been answered! Kelly sits down with Medik8's Daniel Isaacs (the genius with suspiciously perfect skin), who finally explains why your face might be peeling off when using vitamin A products. From comparing retinoids to coffee shots (retinaldehyde is a single espresso, who knew?!) to the shocking confession that you CAN use retinol in summer, this chat is full of "wait, I've been doing it wrong" moments.Daniel's refreshingly basic routine honestly makes us question why we own 47 products when he's getting better results with three. He breaks down the only trio of skincare essentials actually worth your money, and explains his "start low, go slow" philosophy that'll save both your face and your credit card from unnecessary trauma!  LINKS TO EVERYTHING MENTIONED: Medik8 Crystal Retinal $135 Medik8 Micellar Mousse $55 Medik8 C-Tetra Lux $98 Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50 $134 Medik8 Advanced Night Restore $150 Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced $143 FOR MORE WHERE THIS CAME FROM:  Watch & Subscribe on Youtube here Follow us on Instagram: @youbeautypodcast Follow us on TikTok: @youbeautypod Join our You Beauty Facebook Group here For our product recommendations, exclusive beauty news, reviews, articles, deals and much more - sign up for our free You Beauty weekly newsletter here Subscribe to Mamamia here GET IN TOUCH: Got a beauty question you want answered?
