Don't wait until you start seeing fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol—and any products for aging skin, really—can be added to a skincare routine at any age as a defense mechanism against premature damage. Plus, retinol isn't only beneficial for signs of aging; it can reform bumpy skin texture, treat acne, and repair dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
How to Use Retinol
Since retinol speeds up cellular turnover (leaving your fresh, renewed complexion more sensitive to the sun), it is best applied at night on clean skin. And don’t forget to apply sunscreen in the AM to protect those new skin cells.
How Long Does Retinol Take to Work?
With retinol (or any repairing ingredient for that matter), consistent application is key. It can take around 1-3 months to see visible changes for signs of aging and overall skin clarity, but everyone's skin is different. For better results, make sure you apply ample sunscreen in the AM.
What Ingredients Can I Combine Retinol With?
Technically, the only ingredient that doesn’t mix well with retinol is benzoyl peroxide, because the two ingredients actually counteract each other. But we also advise against layering retinol and vitamin C (unless they’re formulated together in the same product) to avoid any potential irritation or sensitivity. We also suggest waiting 24 hours after dermaplaning before applying any retinol-based products.
If you are pregnant or nursing, we recommend skipping retinol for now
