What Is Retinol?
Renowned in the world of skin care, retinol is a holy-grail ingredient that improves the appearance of aging skin. From smoothening out the appearance of wrinkles to brightening the look of dark spots and revitalizing lackluster skin, it delivers results that redefine youthful-looking radiance. With all the great skin benefits it offers, it’s so easy to see why retinol is a must-have in many skin care routines. But what is retinol, exactly? Read on to discover what makes this powerhouse ingredient worthy of all the hype.
According to a 2024 article in Cosmopolitan, “retinol is a form of Vitamin A, an ingredient that improves the appearance of the skin as well as lessening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.” *

Benefits of Retinol
One of the most well-researched and effective ingredients in skin care, retinol has countless benefits that are hard to ignore:
  • Reduces the Look of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: It helps minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles over time while making your skin look smoother and more even.
  • Minimizes the Look of Dark Spots and Hyperpigmentation: Retinoids gently slough off the top layer of the skin and smooth out your skin tone. With continued use, retinol will help bring out your skin’s natural glow.
  • Controls Oil Production: Retinol helps your skin stay fresh and clear, which can also help reduce visible shine.
