- Rejuvenating: Retinol is highly prized for minimizing the appearance of maturing skin and dark spots by promoting collagen production and accelerating skin cell turnover.
- Skin Texture: Can smooth and refine the skin’s surface, minimizing 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.
- Purifying: It can unclog pores, soothe irritation, and minimize breakouts, making it beneficial for oily skin.

How is it used in our products?
Retinol is used, for example, in F65 Corrective Midnight Elixir from OLIVEDA. It is included in our rejuvenating formulas where it targets the signs of maturing skin. Retinol also has exfoliating properties that can clear pores and minimize 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 contributions in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
