Talk of the town and a hot topic in the skincare industry, Retinol has made its way from being an unknown ingredient to one of the most demanded ingredients in skincare products today. Every social media skincare page is talking about its benefits and every consumer wants to have it.

But what is Retinol and what makes it so popular? Let’s find out!

One can say Retinol is the younger sibling to Retinoic Acid. Retinoic acid is bioavailable to the skin, which basically means it’s ready for your skin to absorb without your body needing to convert it. But that isn’t the case with Retinol because it has to be converted on a cellular level to be put on our skin and be effective.

Vitamin A is essential for normal skin cell development because it helps in the collagen breakdown. It is also known for increasing the skin elasticity, improving water locking function, along with its anti-inflammatory properties. And Retinol is highly induced with Vitamin A and its properties.

What are the major benefits of using Retinol in our skincare?

1. Retinol helps in boosting collagen production and makes your skin plump and healthy.
2. Fades age spots and softens rough patches on the skin.
3. Reduces the number of breakouts and acne.
4. Helps stimulate the new skin cell production which in turn helps in getting rid of a dull complexion.
5. Gives a uniform texture to the skin and makes it look smooth and soft.
6. Cuts down fine lines and wrinkles.
7. Retinol can cause dryness and skin irritation hence must be applied at night preferably. Also, if applied during the day, wear sunscreen because retinoids increase skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
