Retinol is a form of vitamin A and belongs to the retinoid family. It is an essential nutrient that helps the body with various functions, including achieving optimal skin health.
Vitamin A can be obtained through dietary sources such as eggs, dairy products and certain fruits and vegetables. However, the amount of retinol received through diet may not be sufficient to meet your skin's requirements.
Therefore, topical application of synthesised retinol through skincare products is the most sought-after and common way to nourish the skin and improve its appearance.
How does retinol work?
Many people confuse retinol with an exfoliate because they see redness and peeling when applying it. However, it is classified as a vitamin A derivative and anti-oxidant.
Upon application, the small molecules that create retinol penetrate deep within the outer layer of the skin. Once it has reached the skin's middle layer, it neutralises free radicals. This process boosts the production of elastin and collagen and gives your skin a plumper look.
