What is Retinol?

Pure retinol cream formulations can be used as part of an evidenced-based skincare regimen to help to improve the visible effects of photoageing. A form of vitamin A, retinol is one of the most widely researched and proven skincare ingredients available today. Retinol is a potent ingredient that helps promote cell turnover to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and blemishes. Formulated with pure retinol and bisabolol (derived from chamomile), SkinCeuticals retinol creams are designed to ensure efficacy while minimising irritation commonly associated with the use of retinol creams.
