What Is Retinol And How Does It Work
Retinol is a form of vitamin A, part of the broader retinoid family that includes prescription-strength retinoids and gentler, over-the-counter retinol and retinoic acid derivatives. Once applied, retinol converts into retinoic acid in the skin, where it works to speed up cell turnover, clear away dead skin cells, and stimulate collagen production. That's the science behind why retinol and retinoid formulas remain some of the most studied ingredients in skin health. Unlike salicylic acid or glycolic acid, which exfoliate the skin's surface, retinol works deeper, supporting collagen where fine lines begin.
Benefits Of Using Retinol
The benefits of a consistent retinol routine go far beyond smoother texture. Using retinol regularly can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fade dark spots, soften acne scars, and even out uneven skin tone. Because it also helps regulate oil production, retinol can also help prevent new breakouts, making it a favorite for acne-prone skin as well as aging skin. Signs of aging, like fine lines, loss of firmness, and dullness, are exactly the signs this anti-aging ingredient is effective in treating. With daily use over several weeks, most people notice good, visible improvement in skin texture, tone, and the appearance of pores.
Best Active Ingredients To Pair With Retinol
Not every ingredient plays well with retinol, so it helps to know what to reach for. A moisturizer rich in ceramides, ceramide-supporting seed oil, or squalane can support the skin barrier and reduce the dryness that sometimes comes with a new retinol treatment. Pure retinol pairs well with hydrating serums, and many people choose to layer a vitamin c serum in the morning while saving retinol for night. Avoid combining retinol with salicylic acid or glycolic acid on the same night, since layering too many active ingredients at once can leave skin more sensitive than it needs to be.
Our Retinol Products: Night Cream, Eye Cream, And Overnight Oil Serum
Our resurfacing overnight retinol serum in oil delivers a time-released dose of retinol that works overnight to soften the look of lines and enlarged pores while helping prevent redness and irritation; it is ideal for dry and sensitive skin due to its oil texture and nourishing ingredients. If you prefer a cream texture, our retinol night cream combines stabilized and encapsulated retinol with ceramides and squalane to reduce the appearance of wrinkles while it also moisturizes skin. And for the eye area specifically, our 24/7 Retinol Eye Cream pairs retinol with our Ruby Crystal Complex and Hydra-Balance technology to brighten and hydrate day and night. Whichever retinol formula you choose, night cream, eye cream, or overnight oil, each is available in a travel-friendly size so you can try before committing to a full bottle.
How To Use Retinol: A Step-By-Step Routine
First time trying retinol? Start using it every other day to let your skin adjust, then gradually increase to daily use as tolerated. Use a pea-sized amount of retinol at night on clean, dry skin, and always follow with a moisturizer to offset any dryness. Watch our quick how-to video for a visual guide to applying retinol the right way. It's best to use retinol products at night since sunlight can break down the ingredient, and remember to use SPF every morning after to support the skin barrier you're building.
Who Should Use Retinol Products
Almost any skin type can benefit from the use of retinol, whether you have oily skin, dry skin, or combination skin. If your skin tends to run dry, need a different, more cushioning formula, reach for our retinol serum in oil for sensitive skin. Oily and acne-prone skin types often tolerate retinol well since it helps regulate oil, our Triple Active Retinol overnight cream’s formula is non-comedogenic and is ideal for oily and combination skin.
