What are the benefits?

  • Anti-Aging: Retinol is highly effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots by promoting collagen production and accelerating skin cell turnover.
  • Improves Skin Texture: Helps to smooth and refine the skin’s surface, reducing the appearance of pores and uneven texture.
  • Brightening: Retinol can fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots, leading to a more even skin tone and a brighter complexion.
  • Acne Treatment: It helps to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent acne breakouts, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin.
  • Enhances Skin Firmness: By boosting collagen and elastin production, retinol helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness.

How is it used in our products?

Retinol is used, for example, in F65 Corrective Midnight Elixir from OLIVEDA and 004 Dope Your Wrinkles Face Oil Serum from LA DOPE. It is included in our anti-aging formulations, where it targets wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Retinol also has exfoliating properties that help to clear pores and reduce breakouts. It is advised to gradually build tolerance and recommended for nighttime use, as retinol can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Regular use of retinol can lead to significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
