More about Retinol
When it comes to “anti-ageing creams” and treating lines & wrinkles, there is one ingredient that is head & shoulders above the rest.
Despite all the technological advances in skin care, Retinol is STILL the gold standard in anti-ageing!
Retinol is fantastic for treating lines & wrinkles no matter what your skin type or secondary skin concerns. Lines & wrinkles aren’t the only thing this wonder ingredient can treat though. Retinol has the ability to correct all sorts of skin conditions and concerns including acne, eczema, pigmentation, enlarged pores.
Retinol is a form of Vitamin A and part of a family of ingredients known as Retinoids. Vitamin A is a potent antioxidant which has the ability to protect cells from free radical damage thus preventing collagen breakdown. It is also essential for cellular renewal and DNA repair.
Retinol acts like a hormone with the skin, normalising cell function. Therefore encouraging the skin to behave the way it did when it was younger.
What are the Retinoid Skin Care Benefits
Aside from being an effective antioxidant, Vitamin A is essential for collagen synthesis and production. This is why it’s a fantastic ingredient to use when treating lines & wrinkles.
Retinol also normalises cellular turnover. As we age our cell turnover begins to slow down and become more sluggish. So by increasing it, it helps to give a more youthful complexion. By helping to normalise the way new cells are laid down forming the stratum corneum. Anyone who struggles with topical exfoliation should give Retinol a try. It has a similar exfoliating effect, but by stimulating the skins natural desquamation process.
For acne suffers where hyper-keratosis (excess of skin cells being produced) is an issue, Retinol helps to slow down cell production. In other words, helping to regulate or normalise cell turn over to a healthy rate.
Retinol also helps to normalise sebum production by reducing over-active sebaceous glands. So great for excessively oily skins. This regulation of oil production also helps to correct any secondary skin concerns such as acne or rosacea.
Is there downtime?
Not really, you can still go about your normal daily activities the next day. Your skin is red and patchy immediately after but returns to normal within a few minutes/hours, but the level and length of redness will depend on your skin.
Your skin may feel a little dry and sensitive for a few days too. It is imperative to use a good moisturiser, wear sunscreen daily and stay out of the sun at least four to five days (otherwise you risk hyperpigmentation).
- Wound Healing, scar lightening
- Dark spots and hyperpigmentation fading
- Fights free radicals
- Blocks the formation of Tyrosinase, which is the first step in extra melanin production
- Replenishes collagen so the skin remains smooth, strong, firm, and glowing
- Continuously promotes skin cell regeneration so the skin self-heals, does not scar, does not produce dark spots and hyperpigmentation, does not produce excess sebum or clog pores, and upholds a strong skin barrier
- Skin brightening and lightening
