Retinol
Retinol is one of the most commonly used forms of Vitamin A in skincare. It is a highly effective anti-ageing ingredient that helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Retinol is also known to stimulate collagen production, which helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity. It works by penetrating deep into the skin and stimulating the production of new cells, which helps to promote a more youthful, healthy-looking complexion. Retinol is also effective in reducing hyperpigmentation and improving skin texture. When using retinol in your skincare routine, it is important to start slowly and build up to higher concentrations. This is because retinol can be irritating to the skin, especially at higher concentrations. It is also important to use sunscreen during the day, as retinol can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Different concentrations and formulations are available and it is advised to start on lower strengths and gradually increase as tolerated by the skin. Low-strength retinol (0.01-0.1%) is a good starting option and is less irritating, medium-strength (0.3-0.5%) is best for those who have already been using retinol and want to see greater results and finally high-strength retinol (1%) will provide more dramatic results but only suitable for certain skin types and those that have built up to this concentration. Different products have differing formulations and may penetrate the skin deeper so it not just about the concentration.
