Retinol increases cell turnover, revealing fresher, brighter skin. This means your skin sheds dead cells faster, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars.
Expect smoother texture within weeks. Consistent use boosts collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. This process diminishes the look of age spots and sun damage.
Start with a low concentration (0.01% – 0.03%) retinol to minimize irritation. Apply it at night, after cleansing and toning. Always use sunscreen daily, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.
Gradually increase concentration as your skin tolerates it. Listen to your skin; if irritation occurs, reduce frequency or concentration. Hydration is key; use a moisturizer to counteract any dryness.
See visible improvements in 8-12 weeks. For optimal results, maintain consistent use. Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to address specific skin concerns.
