We’re back from our break to tackle a tough question: Which over-the-counter retinoid is right for you? We explain how the skincare ingredients retinal, retinol, and retinyl palmitate work; the difference between them; and why product formulation matters (in a segment sponsored by StriVectin). Before that, Jenn & Jess share life updates and chat about blockbuster perfumes, salons that recycle hair clippings to help the environment, vitamin D news, and more.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), reach out to us on Instagram or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show. You can also leave us a voicemail to be featured on a future podcast (our phone number in the U.S. is at 646-481-8182).
