It’s the current trend, but what exactly is Retinol Oil? It’s 2021 and you’ve probably heard someone mention retinol at least once in the past year.
Retinol oil’s main ingredient — you guessed it, retinol — is actually a vitamin in the vitamin A family, found in most foods and used as a dietary supplement. When used as a supplement, it is ingested to treat and prevent vitamin A deficiency. However, the type of retinol you use for your face is a type of retinoid. These work by increasing collagen production and even help increase the rate of skin cell turnover.
Aside from boosting collagen, it can help treat acne, blackheads, and clogged pores by reducing the stickiness of the cells that clog pores. Knowing all of this now, you can probably tell that retinol is used in the skincare industry to improve your skin’s texture, minimize fine lines, evening out your skin tone, and decrease pore size.
Retinol is considered the gold standard for antiaging, and it has a good reason to be. Retinoids not only increase your cellular turnover rate (which keeps younger cells closer to the surface), but it also helps exfoliate older cells at a faster rate. This can help unclog your pores and keep your skin refreshed without the need for harsh friction.
After a longer period of use, retinoids can help increase the production of collagen and elastin in your deeper layer of skin, known as the dermis. This means that even if you don’t have fine lines and wrinkles, it can still help maintain an even skin tone and give you a beautiful out-of-spa glow.
Retinol oil may seem like it’s a newer product people are using, but it has been a tried and true skin care product for years and trust us, your skin will show you the proof of its abilities. The more you use it, ideally 2-3 times a week, you’ll notice your skin appearing freshed, younger, and even more plump. It’s the perfect product for your skin care arsenal!
