Looking to smooth your lines? Retinol
Want a brighter complexion and small pores? Hello. .Retinol.
Need to clear up some Acne? Retinol.
Here are some forms and their claims:
RETINOL - According to Dr. Dennis Gross . .“They stimulate the production of new skin cells. They also help to fade dark spots resulting from photo-aging, hyperpigmentation, hormonal changes, and blemish scars. Prescription-strength retinoids renew the skin and treat acne, reduces appearance of fine lines, and helps with skin discoloration.”
RETINYL ESTERS - A storage form of Retinol.
ADAPALENE - An over-the-counter topical retinoid used to treat acne. Can be found in Differin.
TRETINOIN - A Tradename for Retin-A, also known as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), medication applied to the skin as a cream or ointment.
BAKUCHIOL - A plant extract that offers the same skin benefits of a retinol, without the irksome side effects. "Bakuchiol is an ingredient derived from the psoralea corylifolia plant," aka the "babchi" plant.
When you’re about to hit the big 4-0, consider yourself welcome to the retinoid family. “In your 40s, previous sun exposure leads to collagen damage, which weakens the skin’s foundation,” says Mount Sinai Hospital's Joshua Zeichner, M.D. “Make sure that you are using a topical retinoid in the evening to help stimulate collagen, strengthen the skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.” Now, many younger ladies are getting in on the action and using the products as soon as they learn about its benefits.
