I’m careful with products promising miracles against the natural process of aging, but The Ordinary Retinol Through many years in the beauty industry, I have learned that retinol can slow down the hands of time. The Ordinary Retinol features 0.5% pure retinol proven to minimize fine lines, and it gives skin a fresh appearance. But I wondered what else makes it shine above other serums on the market? First, let’s look at retinol a bit further. Retinol: The Ins and OutsTruly, science You find retinol in products over the counter, but sometimes it is found in prescription creams and serums. It works by preventing collagen breakdown while also stimulating the production of collagen. All the good things that fight those fine lines! It is a product that is safe for all skin types, score! Some of my clients have had redness or feel their skin is dry if they start using a retinol product, so my advice is to go slow. I recommend doing a patch test before using a retinol product over the entire face. Use just a small amount in a choice place like your chin to see how your skin reacts. Be very careful using the thinner skin around the eyes and the mouth. Your skin does build a tolerance over time, so if you notice irritation, switch to using it every other day or use a smaller amount. How do you know if your skin is irritated? Your skin might get very red, itchy, or dry and flaky. Through research, I learned retinol can make your skin sensitive to the sun, so never go outside without applying sunscreen! It is always so important to protect your skin, but even more so if you are using a retinol product. Women and men at almost any age can use retinol. Even teenagers use retinol because it effectively fights acne. Women using retinol for the anti-aging benefit are typically in their late twenties or early thirties. I have learned you should use retinol at night. The reason is your skin repairs itself as you sleep, so you absorb products better as your skin regenerates. Now that you know the ins and outs of retinol let’s look at The Ordinary Retinol and why it’s loved.

I am 26 years old and have had acne since being 13, also started with fine lines a couple of years back. This stuff has improved my skin dramatically, I was so depressed thinking my skin was always going to be awful, and this stuff has literally changed my life, I might get one or two spots, but that is nothing compared to before, after just a month the scars are clearing, my lines are much less, and all the hormonal spots are non-existent!
