How To Use Retinol for an Acne-Free and Youthful Skin.
- Retinol is an anti-aging agent used in acne treatment.
- Suitable for all skin types, except sensitive and dry skin unless recommend by a skincare specialist or used with other products.
Place 1-2 drops on each area of the face and rub into the skin till completely absorbed. - Retinol serum is best to use at night while the skin is rejuvenating, for optimum effect.
- Retinol should be slowly incorporated into your skincare routine for the skin to get accustomed to it. It should be used every other day, 3-4 times a week at first, to maximize its effects, it works slowly, so be patient and consistent.
- Retinol can have a drying effect on the skin which can lead to further irritation at initial use, so always use it with a potent moisturizer.
- Retinol works by encouraging basal cells (in the lowest layer of the skin) to divide, and as a result you get more new epidermal cells. The more these new cells appear at the surface, at which point a mechanism kicks in that wants to shed the excess skin – that’s the exfoliation process. It’s not an exfoliant, so you’ll need a good exfoliating scrub to remove the dead skin cells in order for the new skin beneath to be topmost.
- Retinol is sensitive to light and should be kept in an amber bottle and away from light.
- Always use a sunscreen to protect the treated skin.
