Retinol
Retinol The over-the-counter version of prescription retinoids, pretty much every single dermatologist we've ever talked to names all of these vitamin A derivatives as the number one anti-aging ingredient. "Retinol is a well-established anti-aging powerhouse," says Shah. "Besides improving skin texture and firmness, it also evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of pores." Oh, and did we mention that it can also treat acne too? While this retinol is the most common OTC option, there are also other versions (retinyl palmitate, retinaldehyde) which deliver similar benefits, though are slightly less potent. Whichever one you choose, keep in mind that it will take your skin some time to get used to this strong stuff, so start by using it every other night for two weeks, then gradually increasing to nightly use.
