Why Use a Retinol Cream?
As we age, cell production and new collagen production normally slows down and layers of dead, sun damaged skin cells build up on the skin. This causes our skin to look dull and thick; pores look large and we see the visible effects of sun damage such as age spots, uneven skin tone and less elasticity. Regular use of a retinol cream increases cell turnover and exfoliation
Skin will appear softer and smoother and pores will appear smaller cause retinol encourage the exfoliation of these dead skin cells . Skin will look younger and healthier. The cell rejuvenation caused by vitamin A has also been shown to be helpful on acne patients because the exfoliation unclogs pores and helps fade acne scars.
