Introduction to retinol benefits

With so many anti-aging skin care products on the market, it can be hard to know which ingredients really make a difference. One ingredient that dermatologists consistently recommend is retinol.

This vitamin A derivative has been shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, fade discoloration and blemishes, and boost collagen production for firmer skin. 

When first starting with a retinol product, begin by using it just 2-3 nights per week. Gradually increase frequency based on your skin’s tolerance. There can be a learning curve here and your skin may need to adjust, but the benefits are absolutely worth it.
