Retinol is an all-rounder for skin regeneration. It is one of the most effective anti-aging factors and works effectively against impurities and unevenness. Retinol activates cell renewal and can thus refine the skin structure and reduce pigment spots. Retinol can also smooth wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production and reducing collagen breakdown. This effect is further enhanced by the skin's increased moisture retention. The antibacterial effect of retinol also helps combat impure skin.

If you have concerns, we recommend considering leaving the serums at home to completely avoid leakage.
FAQs
Retinol is a form of vitamin A and a popular ingredient in skincare, known for its anti-aging effects. It promotes cell regeneration and collagen production, which can help reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. Additionally, retinol can refine pores, reduce pigmentation, increase skin moisture, and accelerate scar healing.
Start with the lowest concentration, Retinol 0.3, and for the first two weeks, apply one pump of Retinol 0.3 serum every other evening. If your skin adapts to retinol without any issues and there are no signs of redness or flakiness, you can use Retinol daily for the next 3-6 weeks until it's finished. During this time, you can increase the amount of the Retinol serum to up to 3 pumps per evening. Transitioning from Retinol 0.3 to Retinol 0.5 should only be done after 6-8 weeks. The higher the concentration, the stronger the anti-aging effect. For very sensitive skin, increasing beyond 0.3% may not be possible, while other skin types may tolerate it.
Retinol 0.5 is suitable for all skin types, especially for those looking to address signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. However, it may be particularly beneficial for individuals with normal to dry skin types who want to incorporate a higher concentration of retinol into their skincare routine.
Retinol 1.0 is ideal for normal, mature, oily, and acne-prone skin. It is also used specifically to treat body scars.
A high-quality retinol serum is characterized by an effective concentration of retinol that is potent enough to deliver visible results while remaining gentle enough to avoid skin irritation. Additionally, it should contain moisturizing and soothing ingredients, such as vitamin E, to nourish the skin and minimize potential side effects like dryness or redness.
Retinol serum should be gradually integrated into the skincare routine, starting with application every other or every third evening to allow the skin to acclimate to the retinol. Apply after cleansing and before moisturizing. Gently massage a small amount of the serum onto the face, avoiding the eye area. Since retinol makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, it is important to use a high SPF sunscreen in the morning. After a few weeks, the frequency of use can be increased if the skin responds well to the product.
Yes, retinol can be effective in helping with acne. It promotes cellular turnover, which helps prevent pore congestion, one of the main causes of acne. Retinol also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and swelling. It's important to start with a low concentration and gradually introduce it to the skin to avoid irritation. For severe acne or sensitive skin, it's recommended to consult a dermatologist before use.
Retinol can be helpful in reducing scars, especially acne scars. By accelerating cell turnover, retinol helps renew the top layers of the skin, which can improve the appearance of scars over time. It also stimulates collagen production, contributing to improved skin texture and elasticity. For optimal results, retinol should be used regularly over an extended period. It's important to use sun protection while using retinol products as the skin becomes more sensitive to UV rays.
In general, most people can tolerate retinol well, but it depends on how it is used. The key is to apply retinol ONLY IN THE EVENING and gradually increase the concentration. Going beyond 0.3% is often not possible for very sensitive skin.
The ideal approach for incorporating retinol into your routine is as follows:
1-2 Weeks: Apply retinol 0.3 every other evening.
3-6 Weeks: Use retinol 0.3 every evening.
6-8 Weeks: Transition to retinol 0.5. In the first two weeks, use it every other evening, then switch to daily application.
If well-tolerated, after another 6-8 weeks, you can consider switching to retinol 1.0, which represents the maximum concentration available without a prescription.
By following this schedule, you minimize the risk of skin irritation and can fully benefit from retinol's advantages. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask for further clarification.
Yes, if applied incorrectly, retinol can cause skin irritation such as redness, dryness, or peeling in some individuals. Therefore, it's important to gradually introduce the skin to retinol and apply it ONLY IN THE EVENING. During the day, you should always use sunscreen with SPF 30, as retinol can make the skin more sensitive to light.
Retinol should be avoided during pregnancy.
Patience is key. Typically, you should plan for at least 2-3 months of consistent use to see visible results.
