Wander Beauty Do Not Disturb Overnight Repair Concentrate is my favorite product that I have tried from Wander's skincare range, and it is not only very effective, but it is also very pleasant to use. This highly effective overnight Retinoid-based repair cream is lightweight, fast absorbing and it has a pleasant, and yet ever-so-slight, light lavender aroma. It accelerates skin cell turnover, and thus lightly exfoliates dead skin cells, it moisturizes the skin and plumps fine lines, and it evens out skin tone by helping to fade hyperpigmentation. Unlike many retinoid-based products, that can actually be quite drying, this soothing formula hydrates and nourishes the skin. Additionally, it leaves skin soft, smooth, supple and very luminous. I have not experienced any skin irritation, redness, peeling or drying, and instead my skin looks balanced, hydrated and dewy.
According to Wander Beauty,
Maximize your time between the sheets with Do Not Disturb Overnight Repair Concentrate to amp up skin's natural renewal process while you sleep. Formulated with 1% retinoid to repair and smooth skin.
- Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles overtime
- Reduces uneven skin tone and texture
- Hydrates and improves skin elasticity with plant-derived squalane and peptides
- Soothes and shield skin from environmental stressors during the day with dragon's blood and azulene
- De-stress and wind down after a long day with lavender oil

Directions: Apply and gently massage a pea-sized amount onto clean face and neck at night. Use SPF protection during the day. If you have never used skincare that contains retinoid, slowly integrate it into your skincare routine. Start using Do Not Disturb two times a week and slowly build your way up to daily use. When you first introduce retinoid to your routine, you may notice dryness, scaling, and redness. This is completely normal and will subside within a couple of weeks of use. When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids. For sensitive skin, Wander Beauty recommends a patch test on the inner arm or neck prior to use. If skin turns red, do not continue.

I have been using Vitamin A-based products (from which retinol and retinal-based serums are derived) for many years, and I have found that many of the over-the-counter varieties lack the expected efficacy, or they can irritate the skin. I have used both over-the-counter and prescription versions, and Osmosis Renew Level 4 Vitamin A Serum is my current favorite.
Osmosis Renew Level 4 Vitamin A Serum is formulated with a high concentration of Vitamin A, to encourage cell turnover and renew the skin, and Lactic Acid and Algae extract to brighten it. However, unlike many Vitamin A derivatives, that can dry out the skin and cause it to flake and feel taut, this wonderful retinal formula contains Hyaluronic Acid to deeply hydrate the skin as well as peptides to plump and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. I have never experienced flaking, peeling, redness, or any irritation, and my skin can be a bit sensitive at times. It has a faint and pleasant aroma from its extracts and oils, but it is neither long-lasting, nor in the least bit pungent.
Skin is left soft, smooth, supple and hydrated. As with all retinol-based products, I wear at least an SPF 40+ sunscreen to protect the skin, and I avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. I also avoid scrubs, peels and any other kind of exfoliants when using this serum.
Caution: If you are considering adding a Vitamin A-based product into your skincare routine, then I would highly suggest consulting with your doctor first to have your skin thoroughly evaluated. What might appear to be an area of hyperpigmentation, could actually be a cancerous or pre-cancerous lesion, and the last thing that you want to do is treat it with topicals of any sort. I simply cannot sufficiently underscore the extent to which this is important. I sought advice from my physician before I began using retinol, and had my skin thoroughly evaluated for any suspicious areas discoloration, moles etc.
According to Osmosis,
Renew is designed for resilient or conditioned skin types who desire a dramatic restoration of the skin rejuvenation process. The most potent combination of fibroblast stimulators encourages the reversal of the skin aging.
Directions: Shake lightly and apply 1-2 pumps morning and evening.
Overall Assessment: If you are seeking a retinol or retinal-based product, I definitely recommend this one. It is effective, and from a wonderful brand worthy of your consideration.
