RETINOL RULES!
RIGHT NOW, RETINOL IS regarded by most skincare doctors and beauty insiders as the holy grail of good skin. This is largely because many people believe it’s the only active ingredient that can actually change the quality of skin. It’s no surprise that it’s recommended by pretty much every expert in the industry, from dermatologists to beauticians alike.
‘Retinol is a type of retinoid derived from vitamin A. It’s highly effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen,’ explains Dr Rekha Tailor, medical director). ‘Retinol works by encouraging basal cells in the lowest layer of the skin to divide and as a result we see new epidermal cells working their way up to the skin’s surface. It helps prevent collagen breaking down and thickens the deeper layer of skin to help prevent wrinkles.’
