Retinol has become a buzzword in the world of skincare...and for good reason! This powerful ingredient, a derivative of vitamin A, is highly regarded for its potential to improve skin texture, smooth fine lines, and promote a brighter, more even complexion. As more people look for effective ways to maintain healthy, youthful skin, retinol has become a go-to in skincare routines around the world.
What does retinol do?
Retinol is celebrated for its multi-benefit approach to skincare. Firstly, it works by promoting faster skin cell turnover, helping shed dead skin cells and revealing fresher, newer skin underneath. This process can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and minimise uneven skin tone and pigmentation. Retinol also stimulates collagen production, helping to give skin more structure and elasticity over time. For these reasons, retinol is widely recommended for those seeking to address signs of aging, sun damage, and other common skin concerns.
AM or PM? When should you use retinol?
Retinol is best applied in your nighttime routine. Since it makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, using it at night helps avoid irritation from sun exposure. When you incorporate retinol into your skincare routine, start slowly...applying it just a couple of nights a week to allow your skin to build tolerance.
Which skin types benefit most from retinol?
Retinol can be beneficial for many skin types, but it’s generally best suited for those with normal, combination, or oily skin types. Individuals with sensitive skin may find retinol irritating initially, so it’s recommended they choose lower-strength formulations or apply it sparingly. People with very sensitive or reactive skin should consult a dermatologist before incorporating retinol to find the most suitable formulation.
