Here's everything you need to know about this incredible skincare active.

Retinol is has Potent Anti-Aging Properties?

Yes, you heard right. There is a reason that Retinol is regarded as one of the best actives to use in skincare and why everyone is talking about it. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A. Retinoids are known by and large, for their incredible anti-aging properties while targeting hyperpigmentation, skin texture & tone while helping with acne prone skin.

Retinol Anti-Aging Properties:

Collagen is an essential protein in your epidermis, found in the dermal or middle layer of your skin. Retinol assists with gentle aging by stimulating collagen production which, in turn, promotes elasticity. Retinol promotes skin firmness and elasticity leading to greater skin resilience while making fine lines and wrinkles less apparent.

Improves Skin Texture:

Looking more youthful isn't always about plumping and firming (although this does go a long way). Sometimes, what our skin needs is a more even skin tone. Retinol encourages cell turn over. What this means is that, through the chemical exfoliation process, dead skin cells become unstuck are are more easily shed from our skin. Less dead skin cells on the surface of our skin means that skin appears more radiant. Retinol achieves smoother, more even looking skin, leading to better skin conditioning. Retinol is also able to, through the increase in cell reproduction, target hyperpigmentation, blemishes and dark marks. More even tone skin is one of the features of youthful looking skin.

Acne Treatment:

Retinol makes use of its exceptional exfoliating properties to promote cell turn over, this means that skin is more ready to heal and reduce inflammation and redness. Retinol is also a key way to control sebum production. Sebum can be one of the causes of acne. Retinol also unclogs pores which means that blackheads and white heads are less prone on the skin.

Skin Barrier Protection

Greater cell regeneration means that you skin is more resilient. Retinol is able to assist not only by stimulating cell turnover, but it is also useful in helping skin retain moisture and hydration which acts as a barrier against harmful environmental stressors.

When using Retinol, it is essential to make use of sun protection as Retinol can lead to sun sensitivity. It is recommended that Retinoids be used at night accompanied with high factor sun protection during the day. Retinol can also make your skin more prone to environmental stressors while it repairs itself. It is recommended to gradually introduce retinol into your skincare routine so your skin can become more tolerant to Retinol.
