Retinol is a potent skincare ingredient known for enhancing skin texture and promoting a revitalized appearance. Derived from Vitamin A, it supports the skin's natural renewal process, making it ideal for products targeting mature and uneven skin tones. Its versatility allows for use in night creams, serums, and anti-aging treatments. Due to its potency, it is recommended to be formulated with stabilizers like antioxidants to maintain its efficacy.

• Combine with soothing ingredients like Niacinamide, Ceramides, or Hyaluronic Acid to reduce potential irritation.
• Avoid formulating with strong AHAs or Benzoyl Peroxide to prevent degradation.

Caution:

• Retinol increases skin sensitivity to sunlight. Always recommend the use of sunscreen when using retinol-containing products.
• Start with lower concentrations to allow the skin to adjust, especially for sensitive skin types.
