This article offers an explanation of retinol, as well as how it works, the benefits and above all the precautions that should be taken into account when buying a cream with this component. Around the age of 30, the first wrinkles or expression lines start to become visible, which is why the use of retinol is evident. In addition, the following article discusses how it works, the precautions to be taken and the 7 benefits of retinol.
What does it consist of?
Retinol is a cosmetic applied to the skin that boasts the largest number of medical and scientific studies. These confirm its results in smoothing the most normal symptoms of aging. It promotes exfoliation and renewal of the epidermis while stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin and also helps to homogenize the skin. When applied to the skin, retinol acts as a retinoic acid, which is the form of vitamin A, and serves to stimulate biological activity.
What precautions should be taken?
Before buying a cream, a few recommendations should be taken into consideration. Specialists are not in favor of free use without the help of a qualified physician. For example, using it without knowing the proper dosage, how many times a day it should be applied, the products contraindicated with this product and the risk of stains appearing if you take at the same time any particular drug.
How does it work?
The peeling effect or irritation produced by this product benefits the cell renewal process, which is why the excess skin disappears and new layers appear with a greater light. It should be taken into account that retinol can irritate sensitive skin and should not be used if the patient is exposed to the sun. It can take approximately 2-6 weeks for the patient to build up a tolerance of their skin to retinol, in fact, during this time the skin transformation will begin.
