Can you have waxing done if you use Moisturisers with Retinol or Vitamin A?
The answer is… it depends! Certain types of Retinols, like Roaccutane in tablet form, and certain professional skincare brands that contain very high levels of strong retinol, are an absolute no when it comes to waxing, as they make the skin thinner and prone to damage.
Our own Environ range and ‘high street’ retinols are fine, though we will use a barrier technique with protective wax and powder to help minimise any reactions. If it’s your first time, it’s a good idea to start with a smaller area first. Ask us if you would like a free test patch in advance.
