Les avis sur les soins au rétinol.

Your opinions on retinol.

Retinol is a derivative form of Vitamin A that belongs to the retinoid family. It is currently recognized as one of the most effective compounds to counteract the degradation of the skin's support fibers. Find here the reviews on Typology products incorporating this tensioning active ingredient.

Clara Croux, product manager at Typology, shares her perspective.

"The retinol is a powerful firming agent. It stimulates cell regeneration, smooths skin texture, reduces signs of aging, and effectively combats pigmentation spots and blemishes. However, it should be used with caution. Photosensitizing, it can cause skin irritations following sun exposure. Therefore, it is preferable to use it in the evening, before bedtime, and apply sun protection the following morning. Moreover, even though this active ingredient is now regulated in cosmetic products, I advise against its use for sensitive and reactive skin types. Indeed, its keratolytic activity can dry out the epidermis and cause varying degrees of irritation. However, note that this active ingredient requires a period of skin adaptation; if slight redness appears, it does not necessarily require discontinuation of its use but merely spacing out the applications to every other night, or even every third night."
