Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A that has properties to stimulate collagen and elastin production. As a result, it is commonly used as an ingredient in skincare products aimed at reducing wrinkles. Also, retinol has the ability to exfoliate skin cells, helping to brighten and smoothen the complexion. In some cases, it is also used to help treat acne problem.

Although retinol offers numerous benefits for the skin, using it in excessively high concentrations can lead to side effects such as redness, itching, or even peeling. Therefore, those using retinol should apply it in appropriate concentrations to achieve the best results.
