This single ingredient is one of the most effective for battling skin imperfections like acne and wrinkles.

Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and a type of retinoid. It is commonly available in varying strengths in the form of creams, serums, or gels. Retinol's micro molecules go deep beneath the epidermis to the dermis and change their formulation to become retinoic acid. This process can help by: 

  • Neutralizing Free Radicals
