Gold Standard Anti-Aging
Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, accelerates cell turnover, boosts collagen, and fades hyperpigmentation. But misuse causes irritation, not transformation.
How to Start
- Begin with 0.25%–0.5% concentration, 2x/week.
- Apply pea-sized amount on dry skin after cleansing.
- Follow with a ceramide moisturizer to buffer sensitivity.
- Always use SPF 30+ during the day.
What to Avoid
Don’t mix with AHA/BHA or vitamin C on the same night. Skip if pregnant/nursing unless cleared by a dermatologist. Expect 8–12 weeks for visible results.
