Why Do I Need Retinol?
Retinol is a gold standard ingredient in skin care for just about every skin type, whether that be aging, oily, dry or sensitive. The difference that this ingredient makes on your skin is profound.
Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, increases cell turnover and stimulates collagen production to tackle skin issues such as wrinkles, dullness, texture and acne. This ingredient is vital for the wellness of your skin as it aids in the preservation of a healthy cellular skin matrix and the reduction of aging inflammation on the skin surface due to acne or sun-related damage. It also actively assists in new vibrant skin production.
