Retinol has become the must-have anti-ageing skincare ingredient over the past year. Dermatologist-approved and proven to minimise fine lines and wrinkles as well as pigmentation, Retinol has become a staple ingredient in serums, moisturisers and eye creams aimed towards turning back the hands of time.
Very recently, Retinol has started to appear in body care. As many signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and skin sagging, occur on our body, many brands have started to incorporate Retinol and other retinoids in body creams and treatments.
What is retinol?
A chemical from the Vitamin A family, Retinol works to smooth out the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles diffusing pigmentation which may have been caused by sun damage. As well as exfoliating, Retinol boosts the production of collagen in the skin and helps to fight free radicals which can cause further premature ageing.
