Shani Darden’s Retinol Reform cream debuts in South Africa
Considered the secret behind Hollywood’s most flawless faces, expert aesthetician Shani Darden has launched her skincare classic Retinol Reform cream to South African consumers. With high profile clients that include Kelly Rowland, Jessica Alba and Emmy Rossum, to mention a few, Shani sets herself apart with her results-oriented approach to skincare.
A must-have for those looking for a skin transformation, Retinol Reform is a simple, elegant and versatile product for all skin types.
According to Shani, “Retinol Reform is an advanced skincare product for your face, neck and décolletage which has been specially formulated with ingredients like lactic acid, Aloe Vera, and niacinamide, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.”
Shani Darden began her career as a licensed aesthetician alongside distinguished dermatologist Dr. Erma Benitez, known for her in-depth clinical assessments of severe acne and ability to put patients on a pathway to recovery. In this environment, Shani gained extensive knowledge of acne and other extreme skin conditions that serves as the foundation for her uniquely transformational methods.
Next, Shani advanced in the luxurious spas and reputable clinics of Los Angeles with tenures at Argyle Salon and Spa, Le Spa by Sofitel, and Kinara Skin Care Clinic. These experiences honed Shani’s understanding of active ingredients in both professional and retail products, inspiring her to incorporate anti-aging and “above-maintenance” procedures within the scope of her treatments.
In 2013, drawing from years of clinical expertise and training in the latest skin care innovations, Shani launched her eponymous skin care line which includes the Retinol Reform cream.
Shani says, “I first developed Retinol Reform because I couldn't find a product that delivered the benefits of retinol without the typical drawbacks of irritation and dryness. Retinol Reform contains 5% retinol which is mild enough to use as a part of a home skincare regimen.”
The serum’s base is oil free, making it versatile for different skin types. It can be layered under moisturiser if you have dry skin, but is hydrating enough for those with oily skin to use alone. This is the perfect product to improve skin texture, lighten pigmentation from sun or scarring, boost collagen, and reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
Additional benefits include:
- Improving skin texture for acne scarred skin
- Softening and smoothing rough aging skin
- Lightening pigmentation associated with photo damage
- Aiding in toning and firming the skin
“Results will vary depending on your skin type and what you are using Retinol Reform to treat. For acne, you should notice your skin improving after a week and soon see a smoother surface with an increased glow. For reducing discoloration, it may take a few months to see spot lightening benefits. For wrinkles and fine lines, you may notice a visible difference anywhere from a week to a month after beginning use. The beauty of the product is that with regular use you can enjoy a lifetime of perfect radiant and luminous skin,” concludes Shani.
Retinol Reform retails at R1, 499 and is available online at www.shanidardenafrica.com
