What is retinol?
Retinol - also known as Vitamin A - is a popular cell-communicating ingredient that tells skin cells to behave younger. Everyone can benefit from it, no matter what your skin type or concerns are.
Benefits
Using retinol has many anti-aging benefits. It smooths out wrinkles and helps to stimulate the production of collagen. Also, retinol can improve uneven skin tone, (dark) spots and discoloration. Overall, it's a highly effective ingredient for younger-looking skin. If you are new to using retinol, it's important to mention that it's best to gradually build up the use of this ingredient in your routine and monitor your skin's response. Start with a lower percentage of retinol, if your skin responds well - you can try higher percentages.
