Retinol has established itself as one of the most effective ways to combat wrinkles and improve skin texture. But what exactly is retinol, how does it work, and how can it be incorporated into your skincare routine? This article answers the most common questions about retinol and shows how Creyan's innovative Intense Retinol Complex Serum can visibly rejuvenate the skin.
What is retinol?
Retinol is a form of vitamin A found in many anti-aging products. It belongs to the group of retinoids and works at the cellular level to promote skin renewal. This renewal stimulates collagen production, which is crucial for skin elasticity and firmness.
How does retinol work against wrinkles?
1. Increase collagen production
One of the main reasons why retinol is so effective against wrinkles is its ability to increase collagen production. Collagen is a protein that keeps skin firm and elastic. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and a sagging skin appearance. Retinol stimulates skin cells to produce more collagen, resulting in a visible reduction in wrinkles.
2. Promoting cell renewal
Retinol accelerates cell turnover by promoting the sloughing off of dead skin cells. This not only helps reduce fine lines but also creates a more even complexion and smoother skin surface.
3. Improvement of skin structure
Increased cell renewal and collagen production improves the overall structure of the skin. Wrinkles appear less pronounced and the skin feels firmer and smoother.
4. Combating UV damage
UV rays can cause significant damage to the skin and accelerate the formation of wrinkles. Retinol has the ability to repair UV-related damage by promoting the regeneration of skin cells and protecting the skin from further damage.
application of retinol
1. Slow introduction
When first using retinol, it is recommended to use it 2-3 times a week. This gives the skin time to get used to the active ingredient and minimizes the risk of irritation.
2. Apply in the evening
Retinol should ideally be applied to cleansed skin in the evening, as it can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
3. Sun protection is essential
During the day, a high sun protection factor (SPF 30+) is important to protect the skin from harmful UV rays and maximize the results of retinol.
4. Don't forget to moisturize
Combining retinol with moisturizing products helps prevent dryness and possible irritation.
Are there any side effects?
Although retinol is very effective, some people may experience mild irritation, redness or dryness at first. These side effects usually subside after a few applications as the skin gets used to the active ingredient. In case of severe reactions, use should be reduced or a dermatologist should be consulted.
