Retinol a Skincare Secret
A secret miracle ingredient is slowly taking over the beauty and skincare world.
It started with subtle whispers until elite dermatologists shared the secret with close friends who passed it on to others.
Now it’s your turn to find out how to get the most gorgeous and youthful skin.
Retinol is the secret.
It’s derived from vitamin A and started its moment in the spotlight as an FDA-approved treatment for acne. It’s been around for about 40 years and it didn’t take long for dermatologists to notice that it was also resulting in smoother skin and blurring the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also lighten dark spots and age spots on the skin, creating a younger look all over. Excitement over retinol exploded and put the ingredient on its path to the fame it gets now. Now dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aestheticians all over the world agree that retinol is the single best choice when it comes to anti-aging skincare ingredients.
Retinol works in several ways: it increases cell turnover, acts as an antioxidant, fights free radicals, stimulates collagen production and minimizes the size and appearance of pores. Because of the cell turnover, combined with the other benefits, continued use helps get rid of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots.
The potential of retinol for turning back the hands of time is very exciting, but there are a few things to keep in mind before you add it to your skincare routine. Retinol may result in flaking, dryness and irritation when you begin using it. It’s important to gradually integrate retinol into your routine to reduce the risk of discomfort from these side effects. It’s also vital to read the instructions for use very carefully. If you do notice any of these symptoms, mention them to your dermatologist however, be aware that it’s a normal part of the transition period once you begin using retinol.
Use of retinol can also make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure, so be sure you wear sunscreen with SPF 50 anytime you’re outside.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning on becoming pregnant, talk to your doctor before using retinol.
