What is retinol?

Retinol - also known as Vitamin A - is a popular and cell-communicating ingredient that tells skin cells to behave younger. Everyone can benefit from it, no matter what your skin type or concerns are.

Benefits

Overall, it's a highly effective ingredient for younger-looking skin. If you are new to using retinol, it's important to mention that it's best to gradually build up use this ingredient in your routine and monitor your skin's response.
