Retinol is the go to anti-ageing skincare ingredient. However old you
are, there is no better time to start using Retinol and keep on
looking youthful!
Retinol is a form of Vitamin A and is available in various different
percentages. As Retinol is pretty strong stuff, it is recommended to
start on a low percentage and increase strengths over time.
It is vital to wear sun protection at any time, however, it is
SUPER important when using Retinol as it can increase
skin sensitivity to the sun.
It is also not recommended to use Retinol daily. Start with 1-2 nights
per week then see if you can increase to another night or two after
about six weeks.
