Retinol is a form of vitamin A and is a popular ingredient in many skincare products. It is known for its ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production, increasing skin cell turnover, and improving skin texture.
Here are some ways in which retinol can help in reducing fine lines and wrinkles:
-
Stimulates collagen production: Collagen is a protein that is responsible for keeping our skin firm and supple. As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol stimulates collagen production, which can help to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Increases skin cell turnover: Retinol helps to speed up the rate at which skin cells turnover. This means that old, damaged skin cells are replaced with new ones at a faster rate. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve overall skin texture and tone.
-
Reduce pore size: Retinol can help to improve skin texture by reducing the size of pores as Retinol is a fat soluble vitamin and it dissolves the sebum in the pores. This helps in unlogging the pores and making your pores smaller. This can lead to a more youthful-looking complexion.
It's important to note that retinol can be irritating to some people, especially those with sensitive skin. It's always best to start with a low concentration of retinol and gradually increase over time.
So what makes Qivi Retinol special ? In addition to using normal Retinol we are also using Bakuchiol which is plant based retinol. Bakuchiol is not irritating to skin and by combining traditional Retinol with Bakuchiol we can achieve results very fast. Most of our customers tell us that they can see a noticable difference after 1 week of using Qivi Retinol Serum
Additionally, retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so it's important to wear sunscreen during the day when using retinol products.
