Retinol results designed to limit irritation.
You've probably heard about retinoid: derived from a synthesized form of Vitamin-A, this all-rounder anti-ageing support molecule and definitely works on fine lines, correcting pigmentation and firming up your skin. It's also recommended as an effective anti-acne treatment and has the ability to really turn blemish-prone skin around. We know that retinol is efficacious (there’s a lot of studies behind it), so what’s the catch? Those of us with sensitive (or sensitized) skin don’t tend to get on well with retinols speedy skin-renewing action. (For those with this skin type, we’d recommend exploring skincare for sensitive skin.) By kicking your cells into overdrive and increasing inflammation (a common side effect), it simply isn’t the most skin-friendly active to use on troubled or thinning skin. It’s not all bad news, but it’s just not for everyone.
