Was ist Retinol und was bewikt es in der Kosmetik

What is retinol and what does it do?

Retinol is a form of vitamin A and is often used in cosmetics. It has various positive effects on the skin.

Retinol promotes cell renewal and helps to slough off dead skin cells more quickly. This improves the skin’s structure and makes it look fresher. It also stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of the skin. This can reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Another effect is the refinement of pores. It can reduce pore size and reduce the appearance of blackheads and acne. In addition, retinol can minimize blemishes, scars and discoloration as it improves skin texture and color.

When using retinol products, it is important to follow the instructions on the label and increase the application slowly, as skin irritation may occur at first. It is recommended to use retinol products at night and to wear a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor during the day as it can make the skin more sensitive to light.
