’90s sitcom drama queen Jennie Garth has reinvented herself time and time again, but at least one aspect of her personal brand has remain unchanged: The actress, writer, author, and podcast host has really good skin.

Sure, a large part of that is genetics and resources, but it’s also having a thoughtful approach to the products she uses. When Garth announced her partnership back in August with Perricone MD, an industry-leading, results-driven skincare brand that’s been around for two decades, it made total sense. “I’ve been a pretty loyal Perricone MD user since the ‘90s, witnessing firsthand the incredible results of their skincare,” Garth explained on Instagram.

Since her initial announcement about her role as the brand’s celebrity ambassador, Garth has been learning about the ins and outs of the skincare formulations Perricone MD is so well known for, and has been privy to some of the most exciting and efficacious products that have been in the works. The wait for the rest of us is over, though: Perricone MD has launched its Triple Retinol Renewal Serum and Triple Retinol Renewal Eye Serum, two anti-aging products formulated with the brand’s proprietary triple retinol brand.

Retinol: Why It’s a Derm-Favorite Skincare Ingredient

Before we get into what makes this launch so exciting for people who want a more effective anti-aging product, let’s quickly talk about the basics of retinol. Retinol, which is a derivative of vitamin A, is “the gold standard of anti-aging skincare ingredients for its ability to increase cell turnover, balance skin texture and tone, boost collagen production, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,” Dr. Dendy Engelmanpreviously told SheKnows. Retinol is a powerhouse for the entire face, and it’s especially a key ingredient for the eye area which is “the first area to show signs of aging due to its delicate, thin layer of skin,” says Engelman.

The reason why so many derms recommend folks start using retinol in their 20s, is that it not only acts as a defense against the naturally occurring aging process, but it also combats acne and blemishes. “Retinol also regulates our sebum production which is great for acne control,” Diane Madfes, MD, FAAD, Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine explains.

While prescription retinol is more effective, over-the-counter retinol products have gotten a serious facelift over the last few years, and you can generally see results in four weeks, says Madfes.

What to Know About the Triple Retinol Renewal Serum and Triple Retinol Renewal Eye Serum

Tldr; retinol is a star player in the skincare industry, and if you want to target fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and blemishes, retinol is your best friend. And if you’re looking for a top-of-the-line retinol choice, Perricone MD’s new serums (part of the brand’s beloved High Potency line) are a good bet.

What makes these retinol formulas stand out is their sensitive skin-friendly potency. Perricone MD’s triple retinol blend, combined with coenzyme Q10 (an antioxidant that fights wrinkles and blemishes) and betacarotene (another form of vitamin A that combats redness and inflammation) gives you a bouncy, more radiant complexion in a few weeks with regular use. The High Potency Triple Retinol Renewal Serum is “my #1 essential for visibly reducing texture, lines, and wrinkles,” Garth says.

For targeting eye aging, the Triple Retinol Renewal Eye Serum is made with the same ingredients, only formulated to more smoothly settle under eyes and on the skin of our eyelids. It’s also specially designed for the delicate under-eye area, which can be more prone to irritation. “It’s a must-have for minimizing the look for crow’s feet and dark circles,” according to Garth.

She tells SheKnows, “The Triple Retinol Renewal Eye Serum has me doing a double-take! My under-eye area looks so much more youthful, with visibly smoother texture and reduced dark circles. What’s even better is how gentle it is and by far the most soothing retinol-based eye treatment I’ve ever used. No irritation at all, just results.”

While retinol application is generally recommended at night, the Triple Retinol Renewal Serum and Eye Serum are actually formulated to be gentle enough to use both at night and in the morning. “I use this every day, morning, and night. Yes, that’s right— the Triple Retinol Renewal Eye Serum is gentle enough for twice a day use and has become an essential part of my skincare routine,” Garth says, adding, “Here’s my personal tip: a little goes a long way, so just one pump is enough for both eyes. I start by applying it to the inner corners of my eyes, then gently smooth it outward all the way to my hairline.”

In a sea of products that promise results, these two new serums definitely deserve some bathroom shelf space.
