What is Retinol?

This potent form of Vitamin A is a skin-transforming powerhouse and the gold-standard of anti-aging ingredients. It even comes in different forms (more on that later!).

How does Retinol work in skin?

There’s a reason retinol is considered the gold standard in anti-aging and, quite frankly, a skincare staple. Here’s why: it helps promote skin’s natural cell turnover process. It also aids in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and—for those who aren’t so-concerned with aging—helps delivers smoother, more even-toned skin.

PRO TIP

Retinol has a bit of a reputation for being harsh on skin, and it can increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Here’s how to help combat said irritation: apply retinol every other night in the beginning, and take a break if irritation occurs (it’s ok to take a couple days off!). And don’t forget to layer SPF or an SPF-infused moisturizer over retinol to help shield sensitized skin from the sun’s damaging rays.
