LG H&H Conducts Study into How to Reduce Irritation in Retinol Users
- Researchers from LG H&H inn Korea have identified 30 genetic markers related to the susceptibility of individuals to reduce retinol irritation.

- Scientists gathered Korean genetic data in customers with retinol sensitive skin and normal skin without sensitivity to retinol by conducting a study with 173 test subjects.
- The subjects applied retinol for 3 days, followed by a rest for 4 days, and repeated the process over 3 weeks. The concentration of retinol would increase every week
- At the conclusion of the study, test subjects were given surveys to fill out
- A high proportion of subjects in the sensitive skin group reported irritation. They were also much more likely to stop using the retinol due to irritation

New Kbeauty Reviews on STYLE STORY
"I CAN'T STOP USING THIS!
I am shook. And SO EXCITED to see what else Jelly Ko will bring out. Because no joke the steam cream is my favourite moisturiser, and now this toner is my favourite. Texture is like a thick watery gel. Smell is YUMMY like lollies but not sickening. Absorbs in amazing. Layers well. And also is the only product I can use on the sensitive skin of my chest/decolletage that doesn't give me red bumps."
"BEST BB cream I've used
I don't usually leave reviews, but I absolutely had to for this BB cream. I've heard Lauren talk about it on her podcast and was really keen to try it out for myself. I've got shade 21 and it's just perfect for everyday wear. It blends so easily and looks like my own skin but better.
I'd say it's light to medium coverage and gives my skin a really lovely glow. I do find it goes on a little bit shiny (and I've got an oily t-zone), so I set it with the Innisfree No Sebum Powderand that works really well for me. And best of all, I don't feel like I'm wearing anything, but I feel confident that my skin looks really healthy and even-toned. Absolutely love this cream and I will definitely repurchase.
Special thanks to Lauren for helping me choose which shade to buy - she was spot on, shade 21 is perfect for me! :)"
