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!
