What does Retinol do?
Retinol is essentially a source of Vitamin A to prevent skin from aging. Retinol converts naturally to retinoic acid with time and provides anti-aging benefits at a gradual pace.
- Smooths the out skin
With time, skin has the tendency of slowing down cell production. In this case, retinal offers exfoliation benefits as it clears away dead cells and gives new skin cells the chance to grow. Frequent usage of retinol will restructure the skin and also encourage continual regeneration. It promotes normal cell renewal through inducing exfoliation.
- Wrinkles reduction
With time, skin loses its elasticity thus creating a path for wrinkles and lines to form. A regular regimen that involves retinol is going to reverse this through assisting collagen production. Collagen is an essential element of ensuring youthful skin. After collagen has been replenished and the old cells shed, the facial discoloration will disappear. The wrinkles then recede to provide a youthful and smoother texture.
- Reduces the appearances acne
Acne sufferers have to constantly fight blackheads and blemishes, which is a bit stressful. Retinol acts like a relief for acne through revealing a clearer skin. It works through exfoliating and cleaning the skin pores, which keeps acne away and prevents further breakouts. Individuals suffering from keratosis can also benefit from using retinol.
