Tips on how to use retinol
1. Overview and Benefits of Retinol
As a derivative of Vitamin A, retinol has lower concentrations compared to prescription-grade high-concentration retinoic acid, making it more suitable for daily skincare use in products. It helps improve fine lines, anti-aging effects, fade spots, stimulating cell turnover, minimize pore size, and prevent acne.
2. Retinol Usage Tips
Everyone’s skin reacts differently to retinol. During the first 2-4 weeks of use, you might experience mild reactions like redness, dryness, or tingling. However, as your skin adjusts, these reactions usually fade.
💡With many retinol skincare options out there, choose products based on your skin type. Begin with a low concentration (0.1%) and apply sparingly as directed, ease into it 2-3 times a week to let your skin get used to it.
