Retinol Benefits
Retinol Benefits We might not know all the science, but the majority of us are familiar with retinol's anti-aging properties. It also treats acne. Akridge says that retinol's exact mechanisms aren't known but it is thought to work by increasing the rate that skin cells divide. High cell turnover can equal less pimples forming and more youthful skin. Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Yale School of Medicine Mona Gohara MD says that retinoids can increase collagen production, decrease collagen breakdown, create cell turnover, prevent and treat acne, minimize wrinkles and more. Co-founder and co-CEO of Glow Recipe Christine Chang adds that the stimulation of cell turnover can fade hyperpigmentation and tackle uneven complexions.
