Retinol

Retinol is one of the three forms of vitamin A, along with retinal and retinoic acid.
A benchmark anti-aging active ingredient, this powerful firming agent smoothes fine lines and wrinkles and prevents skin slackening.

In fact, retinol stimulates fibroblasts involved in the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, restoring firmness and support to the skin. It also plays a role in the production of hyaluronic acid, which binds cells together.

Retinol is also recognized for its antioxidant virtues, which prevent premature aging of skin cells by neutralizing free radicals.
Its keratolytic action removes dead cells from the skin's surface, unclogging pores and preventing the appearance of imperfections. In this way, retinol is an ideal ally for combination to oily skin.

Finally, retinol is renowned for its anti-spot properties, since it regulates the synthesis of melanin, responsible for the appearance of brown spots. It contributes to a more even complexion.
As retinol is a photo-sensitizing molecule, we recommend using it at night.
