Why is retinol such a buzzed about ingredient?

Retinol is a powerhouse formulation addressing almost all skin issues. It is anti-wrinkle, age-defying, and reparative.

What are the benefits of using it?

• Reduces breakouts and balances oily skin.

• Contains minimizing features that prevent wrinkles, leaving the skin smooth.

• Eliminates dark and sunspots.

• Brightens dark skin, casing a brighter and softer complexion.

How can people who are afraid to incorporate retinol into their routine add it in without causing irritation?

Gradually add once or twice in your night regime in the first week and increase the following week depending on how positive the skin responds. Suppose the skin peels or reddens; apply once a week for one month. Later, increase to twice as you monitor the irritation.

Is there a good age to start using retinol?

I recommend introducing retinol to your skincare routine at 30 years- thrice or four times weekly if there is no irritation. At ages 50 and onwards, use it five or seven times weekly.
