You’ve probably seen retinol as an ingredient in your skin care products but do you truly know what it is? Well, it’s nothing but a form of vitamin A that has the power to slow down your skin clock. Curious to know more? Read on…
What is Retinol?
This form of Vitamin A is often found in several topical skin care products and can improve the health of your skin to a great extent. It could either be present in your cream, serum or even your lotion.
Did you know that retinol is rather effective in dealing with acne? It unplugs your follicles and works as an exfoliator thereby clearing your pores that are ridden with bacteria. This means no impurities and no acne!
Stimulates cell turnover
Since retinol has the power to exfoliate your skin, it removes dead skin cells and encourages cell turnover, making your complexion glow.
Controls wrinkles
Creams with retinol are like antioxidants for the skin and hence, have the power to repair skin damage. This means it works to rejuvenate your skin and slowly but surely works on fine lines and wrinkles.
How you can give your skin a boost of Retinol…
Since retinol has so many skin benefits, we suggest you opt for the Lakmé Youth Infinity Day Crème that’ll give you just the right amount of retinol your skin needs. With peptides, retinol and retinol boosters that stimulate collagen production, it can work on wrinkles and revitalise your skin. The CLA content even enhances cell turnover helping your skin build newer tissue for healthier looking skin.
