It helps speed up skin cell turnover, which can improve the appearance of skin texture, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. Results usually only become visible after several months of regular use.<\/p>\n<p>Because it can cause irritation, retinol should be introduced gradually. Start with a low concentration, use it two to three times a week at night, then slowly increase the frequency once your skin has adjusted. Use a small amount for your whole face and avoid the area around the eyes and the corners of the mouth.<\/p>\n<p>When you first start using it, your skin may feel dry, look red, or peel slightly. Use a moisturizer to help reduce these complaints, and avoid using it at the same time as strong exfoliants. Because retinol makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight, wearing sunscreen in the morning is a must.<\/p>\n<p>Retinoids are not recommended for women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. If this applies to you or you have sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retinol is known for its benefits for skin texture and signs of aging.
