How does Retinol work?
Retinol is derived from vitamin A. The way it works at the cellular level is by stimulating the fibroblast–the cells inside the skin–to build more collagen. Collagen is a protein that is the basic building block the body uses to build stronger, healthier skin.
Over time the skin begins to get thinner and thinner. Retinol helps to combat this thinning effect by boosting the production of collagen and thickening the skin.
Retinol also increases cell turnover, achieving a fresher, more youthful, and glowing appearance. Retinol reduces pigmentation concerns because it has a “micro peel” effect that refreshes the skin at the cellular level. I explain more about how Retinol works in this video, and below.
