The Science Behind Retinol

Retinol, the #1 dermatologist recommended anti-aging ingredient, is a pure form of Vitamin A that is naturally found in your skin. Skin has its own natural renewal process, but as we age, skin renews itself less often. As a result, early signs of aging, such as fine lines, large pores, and uneven skin tones start to show. Retinol helps to fight signs of aging by supporting surface skin cell renewal to complement your skin’s natural processes and to visibly improve signs of aging.

Not all retinols are created equal.

Don’t be fooled by ingredients that sound like Retinol – look for the real thing. Retinol is a pure form of Vitamin A. Other forms of Vitamin A, such as Retinyl Ester and Retinyl Palmitate, may be less effective than Retinol. In fact, Retinol is scientifically proven in its ability to provide skin benefits.

The Truth about Retinol

Retinol can rapidly degrade and lose its effectiveness if it isn’t stored properly. While shopping, look for opaque packaging and closed airtight pumps to ensure great results.

Sometimes it takes a few applications of Retinol before your skin adapts. Experiencing mild redness, a warm, tingling sensation, or flaking are normal and temporary signs that the formula is working.

No, Retinol formulas have been studied for a full year and have demonstrated continuous clinical efficacy and improvements in key signs of aging throughout that time.

Dermatologists usually recommend starting your anti-aging regimen in your early 30s or at the first signs of aging. Early use of Retinol products can help combat the look of fine lines.

Retinol is an intensively studied anti-aging ingredient, but just because it has been around doesn’t mean it has stayed the same. Continuous innovations have been done to make the formula even more efficacious over time.
