What is Retinol:-
Retinol is a type of retinoid which is a kind of Vitamin A. Retinol is one of the mostly used skin care products around the world, it comes as liquid serum, cream, gel and ointment, it is easy to apply topically that means these are directly applied to the skin.
Retinol is generally a type of retinoid that is a drug that comes from vitamin A. Retinoids include both over the counter(OTC) retinoid products and prescription retinoid medication. Retinol can easily penetrate to the layers of skin which is known as the stratum corneum and can also penetrate a deeper layer that is dermis. Retinol can convert into retinoic acid after entering the body. When retinol is present in the skin layers, it promotes cell turnover and also prevents the breakdown of collagen, that is a protein that increases the elasticity of skin.
How does Retinol work:-
Rather than removing dead skin from the body like most of the anti-aging supplements do, rather the small molecules that makes up the retinal goes deep into the skin beneath the epidermis and the dermis.
