If you’re over 30 then adding retinol to your beauty routine is key.

The super hero of the skincare kingdom, retinol works wonders on refining texture, treating fine lines and minimising pores. It’s also powerful in the war against problematic pigmentation and collagen depletion.

However, not all retinol products are created equal. High potency formulations can cause irritation and inflammation leaving your skin dry and flaky.

So, if you’re new to the ingredient or have sensitive skin, it’s crucial to use a product that buffers the delivery of the retinol to your skin.

A Refresher in Retinol.

What exactly is retinol? It’s a molecular derivative of vitamin A.

Retinol speeds up skin cell renewal. This results in surface exfoliation while stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Dermatologists universally concur that retinol is the most effective topical ingredient for treating a broad range of skin issues associated with ageing. From fine lines and pigment to enlarged pores and acne scarring, retinol combats the decline of structure and luminosity.

Concentration, frequency of application and dosage can alter the way retinol interacts with your skin. The higher the dose the more aggressive its performance which in turn can lead to redness, flakiness and general irritation.

So the key to effective retinol usage is to start slow until you start seeing the results you want to achieve.

New To The Category.

There’s a strong argument for serum delivered in single dose capsules. Retinol is a particularly sensitive ingredient that degrades with exposure to oxygen and light. So the manner in which it’s delivered and stored is vital to how effective it is.
