Retinol in skincare

Learn more about retinol

Retinol is a synthetic derivative of Vitamin-A but falls under a broader category of retinoids. When applied topically this product will convert into retinoic acid through specialized enzymes that are found within the skin. While retinoic acid can be applied topically it is harsher than retinol creams or serums, because it does not naturally convert over time.

Retinol is found in many different beauty and skincare products that you can buy over the counter. You may also see a cosmetic provider who may proscribe retinol to you. Retinol can make your skin look and feel softer, smoother, and have a radiant glow. It will help decrease fine lines and wrinkles while improving collagen production.
