retinol has become the asset par excellence against skin aging. Unite your tone, mix wrinkles and expression linesimproves skin tone… In general, we can say that this ingredient works effectively to improve the quality of the skin and its appearance in every possible way.
“It is a cosmetic agent derived from vitamin A with proven anti-aging effectiveness, through clinical studies. In addition, It is used on acne-prone skin and helps reduce pimples. The concentration determines the tolerability. The higher the concentration, the greater the chance cause redness, dryness or irritation of the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to gradually introduce it into the routine. For example, if your skin is already used to the treatment, you can continue to use it in the summer without any problems. It is always necessary to use broad spectrum sun protection daily and to reapply it regularly,” explains pharmacist Belén Acero, owner of Farmacia Avenida de América.
“On the other hand, if your skin has not yet been retinised, I advise you to postpone its application until after summer, as it is not convenient for the sun to shine on irritated skin, which can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or other stains,” warns the expert.
If you have oily skin, retinol is a safe bet for you. “This ingredient improves skin texture, reduces sebum production, it prevents wrinkles and improves skin tone,” says pharmacist Belén Acero. “However, sometimes, such as pregnancy, its use is contraindicated and one cannot enjoy the benefits. As an alternative, I recommend the bakuchiolthe plant-based alternative to retinol, with similar properties, but there is still a long way to go to get the same scientific evidence of retinol,” adds the expert.
Also remember that retinol should not be combined with active ingredients such as alpha or beta hydroxy acids and should be combined with a good hydration routine (here’s the definitive guide to the best moisturizers) as it can dry out the skin.
