What is Retinol?
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative, that has the essential ability of enhancing cell functioning and turnover. This beauty ingredient has demonstrated the ability to revitalize the skin, even out the skin tone, fight acne vulgaris and reduce subsequent scarring, by boosting collagen production within the skin and working as a skin exfoliator. It can also function like an antioxidant and help fight free radicals that cause most skin damage. This ingredient can seem like a one stop destination for all skin care woes by buffing away dead cells from the skin, unclogging pores, and brightening the complexion. Retinol benefits the skin by going deep within the skin epidermis and boosting the overall skin quality and health. We have just given you a small glimpse into the huge host of benefits that you can derive out of Retinol based products.
Benefits of Retinol on skin
1. Boosts collagen production
Collagen is an extremely crucial building block of the body that is predominantly present in the skin and bones. Over time, with old age and excessive sun exposure the Collagen production can start to decline, causing the skin to appear drier and resulting in the appearance of fine lines. Retinol amplifies the production of collagen thereby preventing early collagen breakdown and helping the skin to stay youthful.
2. Prevents signs of premature aging
Early sign of aging can be a result of several factors. Prolonged sun exposure, smoking, poor sleeping habits, excessive alcohol and caffeine intake, poor lifestyle and excessive work stress. Sometimes these can be completely out of our control, much like genetic factors. Retinol doesn’t just smooth out existing fine lines and wrinkles, but also prevents relatively newer ones from making their appearance. Retinol has the ability to penetrate deeper within layers of the skin. Once in the middle dermis, retinol helps boost collagen production within the skin. This helps with firming the skin texture while retaining its youthful elasticity and reducing signs of premature aging.
3. Brightens dull skin
Several environmental stressors can collectively work to clog the pores, causing the skin to appear dull and damaged. Retinol functions as a skin exfoliator that gently gets rid of dead skin cells revealing a much brighter and supple looking skin underneath. This in effect helps brighten dull skin complexion.
4. Treats acne
Uses Retinol for acne and acne scars cannot be undermined. Retinol can help balance and regulate sebum production in the skin thereby making the skin a lot less oily. It also helps keep pores from clogging, resulting in fewer blackheads, cysts, and pimples. Topical treatments infused with retinol have the ability to smoothen out acne scars and improve overall skin texture.
5. Psoriasis treatment
Some relatively seriously skin impediments can also be treated using topical retinol-based ointments and creams. Retinoids have the ability to hamper the growth of Psoriasis causing skin cells in patients suffering with the skin condition. The retinoid treatment is generally done in combination with steroid treatments for best results.
6. Treats Undereye Puffiness
Anti-oxidant properties of Retinol are effective in helping reduce undereye puffiness. While retinoid can be an effective choice, one must keep in mind that owing to the sensitive nature of undereye skin area, it is generally recommended that one only use those creams that come in low retinol concentrations to help treat puffiness.
7. Anti-oxidant properties

Free radicals break down the collagen presents in our skin which is the number one cause of premature skin aging and loose skin.

Retinol is effective in evening out the skin tone and complexion by helping reduce sun spots, acne scars and hyperpigmentation. This property of retinol is a direct consequence of its ability to boost the production of collagen and elasticity in the skin.
