The same retinol everyone is talking about. A form of vitamin A, a powerful ingredient that transforms conventional beauty products into magical fountains of youthful, radiant skin.
Retinol products are becoming more and more popular and in demand.
Who is shown such funds and how to use them correctly?
Retinol is the most common name for substances of the retinoid group. There are many forms of retinol.
Any form of retinol, getting into the skin, gradually changes to retinoic acid, which is absorbed. The further the form is from the final format, the softer the tool works. Conversely, products containing pure retinoic acid work the most aggressively.
It is generally accepted that retinol is a component for anti-age therapy. This is not entirely true. The anti-aging effect of regular use of retinol is undeniable. But there are other skin conditions in which the substances of the retinoid group have a clear positive effect.
What problems does the retinoid group solve?
- Loss of skin tone, dullness
- Photoaging
- Pigmentation, uneven skin
- Enlarged pores
- Excessive secretion of sebum
- Wrinkles, including fairly pronounced
- Acne, post-acne
- Decreased firmness and elasticity
Prescribing products of the retinoid group can be effective both for dealing with acne problems (and its consequences) at 18-20 years old, and for eliminating the first signs of aging after 30-35 years old.
Age is not a factor in prescribing retinol products. The presence of one or more problems with which this tool actively copes - yes.
Contraindications for retinol
There are few of them, despite the high activity of the component.
Skin sensitivity is not a direct contraindication. Just like couperose or rosacea.
Most often, retinol products are contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation. Or in case of individual intolerance to the substance.
How to use retinol products correctly
Retinol is a component with a fairly aggressive effect. It actively stimulates cell renewal and improves cellular metabolism. During the period of using retinol products, the skin must be protected from ultraviolet radiation - be sure to apply the product with spf in the morning - the entire period while you use the product with retinol regularly.
Side effects from the use of retinol: redness of the skin, peeling, in some cases - pigmentation.
Retinol products are used in evening care, 1-2 hours before going to bed. Vitamin A is best absorbed at night.
Since the component has a rather aggressive effect, products with retinol should be introduced gradually. The first 1-2 weeks every 3 days, then 1-2 weeks every other day, and only on the 4-5th week of use, you can use the remedy daily.
In the first weeks of using the product with retinol, you may experience a feeling of deterioration in the skin condition. New elements of inflammation, uneven tone and redness appear. This is a normal stage in the operation of an asset.
Full renewal for skin cells can take several months. Therefore, it is ideal to start using the retinoid group in the fall in September-October and finish in April-early May.
Retinol combines well with vitamin C. If you want to simultaneously introduce one of the products with vitamin C into your care, feel free to combine it.
The result of regular (long-term) use of the product with retinol:
- Tightened radiant skin
- Constricted pores
- Moderate sebum production
- Less pronounced wrinkles
- Increase skin firmness and elasticity
- Even tone, reduction of pigmentation, traces of post-acne
- Lifting effect, clearer oval of the face
