All about 'Retinol'
If you’re over 25 and not using a retinol product, you’re doing it all wrong! Retinol, the star ingredient and your new bestfriend to slow the skin aging process and correct damage. Let’s see how you can add it to your daily routine safely, while keeping your skin’s barrier intact to achieve bouncier, more radiant skin!
Firstly, what will retinol do for your skin? Well, where do we begin? Retinol sinks into the skin speeding up our cell turnover process, slows collagen breakdown and improves elasticity not only smoothing your existing fine lines and wrinkles but minimising new ones that form. Retinol brightens dull skin exfoliating on a cellular level revealing brighter, smoother looking skin, it regulates oil production and keeps pores from clogging (great for pesky blackheads and adult acne sufferers), and overtime retinol will even out your complexion, fading sun spots, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Retinol is the only ingredient proven to reverse signs of aging!
Knowing what retinol products are best for you and how to correctly use them is vital to achieve optimum results for your skin. Dermalogica have many retinol products on the market all with different strengths and ingredient blends to best suit each skin type and condition.
