• Retinol is also known as Vitamin A1, which is the vitamin known for promoting collagen production and skin renewal. Retinol is also a great exfoliator and works by encourages the release of old skin cells to reveal fresh skin beneath.
• There’s plenty of options when it comes to adding retinol to your skincare routine – from retinol cream and retinol serum, to capsules you apply to your face and neck after cleansing.
• Retinol isn’t suitable for everyone – if you have eczema, psoriasis or rosacea, your skin’s weakened moisture barrier will allow retinol to penetrate deeper than it should, which can worsen inflammation.
