What is Retinol? Retinol and retinoic acid belong to a family of compounds known as retinoids, a family of antioxidants which are derived from Vitamin A. Retinol works by encouraging skin cell renewal to reverse the signs of ageing. Retinol is ideal for all skin types, but Retinyl Palmitate – one of the gentlest derivatives of retinol, is particularly good for those with sensitive skin.

What does Retinol do? Retinol is considered an essential step in most anti-ageing routines due to its clinically proven ability to increase cellular turnover, stimulate collagen production, fade pigmentation, and soften rough patches of skin. It creates a firm and supple complexion with fine lines and pigmentation reduced.
