Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A known for its powerful anti-aging effects. It accelerates skin cell turnover, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,
unclogs pores, and improves skin texture and tone. Over time, it helps smooth rough patches and fade dark spots caused by sun damage or acne.
Retinol can initially cause dryness or irritation, so it's best introduced gradually.
Best for: Mature, oily, or acne-prone skin (avoid during pregnancy).
