Retinol

What Is Retinol?

Retinol is an ingredient used in dermatology and cosmetics for its extensive benefits for the skin. It stimulates collagen production in your body, which maintains a youthful appearance and reduces wrinkles and fine lines. It helps lighten dark spots and skin discolorations by promoting gentle exfoliation and balancing melanin production.

It has anti-inflammatory properties and helps regulate sebum production, which is beneficial for people with acne. It can reduce pore blockage and prevent the formation of comedones and inflammatory lesions.

Retinol can be found in serums, creams, lotions, and specific treatments, labeled as "retinol" or "vitamin A".

It is essential to use sunscreen during the day when using products with retinol, as this ingredient can increase skin sensitivity.

Benefits:

⦁ Anti-Aging: Retinol is a form of vitamin A that stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and promoting firmness.

⦁ Pore Minimizer: It helps unclog pores and refine skin texture, making pores appear smaller.

⦁ Antioxidant: Retinol combats free radicals, supporting overall skin health and preventing signs of aging.
