The holy grail of skincare ingredients<\/h3>\n

Has the summer left you with a few dark spots or fine lines? Retinol is the ingredient to reach for once the warmer months are behind you. This form of vitamin A has a unique ability to speed up the skin’s natural renewal process, bringing a fresher, more even layer of skin to the surface. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

A powerful ingredient<\/h3>\n

The retinol you apply is first converted by the skin into retinoic acid, the active form of vitamin A<\/strong>. This makes retinol a gentler yet still effective form. Because it is such a potent ingredient, you may notice some side effects in the early stages, such as dryness, flaking or redness. For that reason, introduce it gradually and begin with once or twice a week.<\/p>\n

Retinol is sensitive to sunlight<\/h3>\n

Retinol loses its effectiveness when exposed to sunlight, which is why it is often packaged in dark bottles. It is most often used as a night treatment, though you will also find it in eye creams, serums and day creams. If you use retinol during the day, always wear it beneath an SPF<\/strong> (or choose a day cream with SPF) to avoid irritation.<\/p>\n

How much do you need?<\/h3>\n

The average concentration of retinol in a product is 0.3%. See how your skin responds to this level, then build up the percentage as it grows more tolerant. If you want to see more results, or to address a persistent skin concern such as acne within a certain time, you can add a higher percentage, up to around 1%, to your skincare routine.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

Retinol in your routine?<\/h3>\n

– Begin with once or twice a week in your evening routine.
\n– Increase gradually, depending on how well your skin tolerates it, up to daily use.
\n– If you use retinol during the day, always pair it with an SPF.<\/p>\n
