Fall = Renewal
There’s something about fall that feels like a fresh start. The air gets crisper, routines fall back into place, and it’s a natural time to refocus on your health and wellness, including your skincare journey. Just as the seasons change, your skin can benefit from a reset. Fall is the perfect opportunity to introduce powerful ingredients that encourage renewal, smooth away what’s dull, and bring out your healthiest glow yet!
What Are Advanced Actives?
Advanced actives are high-performance skincare ingredients that work beneath the surface to stimulate renewal, boost collagen, and improve skin health over time. Unlike basic moisturizers or cleansers, these targeted actives make real changes in skin function. Think smoother texture, fewer fine lines, and a brighter, more even tone.
One of the most trusted advanced actives, and the one we recommend for nearly every skin type, is retinol.
Spotlight on Retinol
Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is popular because of its ability to increase cell turnover and support collagen health. It helps fade discoloration from sun exposure, smooth fine lines, and refine uneven texture.
At Becker Cosmetic, we highly recommend using one of the following formulas, each tailored for different skin types and experience levels:
Senté Bio Complete Retinol: Gentle enough for first-time users or sensitive skin. This formula combines slow-release retinol with Senté’s signature Heparan Sulfate Analog to reduce fine lines, even tone, and maintain a healthy barrier.
Alastin Renewal Retinol .5: Designed for more experienced users. Encapsulated retinol delivers powerful results while minimizing dryness, supporting collagen production, and smoothing sun-damaged skin.
Esthetician Tip: Retinol is powerful! Start “low and slow” by use it sparingly every other night and always follow with moisturizer. Overuse can cause peeling, redness, or irritation. If you’re not sure where to start, give us a call at (360) 625-5360 and our Master Estheticians will provide a recommended routine tailored to your skin.

Moisture is the secret to minimizing irritation. Always moisturize after applying retinol and never skip sunscreen if used during the day.
