retinol

Serum active ingredient

Retinol is a form of vitamin A used in skincare products to reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and treat acne.

It works by accelerating cell turnover.

Dermatologists recommend starting with low concentrations since retinol can cause dryness and irritation: My skin was peeling for weeks when I started using retinol.
