If it seems like all of your favorite skin care companies are launching their very own retinol products... that's because they basically are. We were gifted Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream, $74, at the tail-end of 2018, Sunday Riley's A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum, $85, hit shelves at the top of 2019, and Estee Lauder also just launched its Perfectionist Pro Rapid Renewal Retinol Treatment, $82, in the last couple months.
Retinoids are a brilliant ingredient, and any dermatologist will double down on their recommendation of both over-the-counter and prescription formulations. However, given its potency, it also requires some user responsibility. In short, retinoids increase cell turnover at a rapid rate, which often leads to peeling, redness, and sensitivity. You can manage this process with proper and thoughtful application. For the details on how, we hit up a dermatologist for insight.
