Retinol for facial skin: reviews

The beneficial properties of retinol for the face have been well studied and confirmed by many positive reviews. Some of the main benefits of vitamin A include:

• strengthening collagen synthesis and protecting it from premature damage - as a result, small wrinkles disappear, and large wrinkles noticeably decrease;
• accelerating cell regeneration, making the skin smooth and the complexion uniform and attractive;
• preventing processes associated with skin pigmentation, which also has a good effect on facial skin tone.

Interestingly, almost all reviews about the use of retinol to restore facial skin are positive. It is recommended by more than 95% of buyers. Among the advantages are a completely natural composition, the absence of contraindications and side effects, a real effect, and an affordable price.

Vitamin A is good not only for the skin (including dry skin), but also for the hair and mucous membranes. Moreover, after 1-2 weeks the face looks more attractive.

In rare cases, individual shortcomings are also mentioned, for example, individual intolerance to retinol. Sometimes called side effects and a small volume of the bottle. Buyers are also warned of the need to follow the instructions to prevent an overdose.

Composition and release form

Retinol is A. It is available in the form of an organic salt - retinol palmitate. In appearance it is an oily liquid of light yellow color. The content of the active ingredient is 100 thousand IU per 1 ml. Packaged in bottles of different sizes (from 10 ml).

Vitamin A is a vital substance that performs several functions:

• participation in tissue metabolism;

Retinol - the vitamin of youth

Hello beauties!

Today I would like to dedicate my post to vitamin A.
Having sifted through a bunch of information on the Internet and watched a lot of videos, I want to share it with you. Winter is exactly the time when you should think about facial care with retinols, so that in the summer you can stop masking your imperfections.

Let's start.

Probably, as long as our planet rotates, humanity will continue with undying enthusiasm the centuries-old search for the elixir of eternal youth, beauty and health. To maintain such precious gifts of Nature as beauty, health and youth, “scientific minds of our time” are developing more and more new cosmetics and introducing innovative technologies. It has been scientifically proven that vitamins are a vital element for the full functioning of the human body. The balance of the “vitamin alphabet” allows you to maintain and preserve beauty and health for many years. Nowadays, quite often the beauty industry offers the use of retinol – true vitamin A – as an anti-aging therapy.

Vitamin A

recognized as one of the main vitamins of youth and beauty, due to its pronounced antioxidant properties. The use of vitamin A guarantees healthy and beautiful hair, strong nails, increased immunity, improved blood circulation, strengthened blood vessels and stable metabolism. Initially, in cosmetology, retinol was used to treat skin diseases such as acne, pimples and other rashes. Based on this practice, the rejuvenating effect of vitamin A was noted - smoothing out fine wrinkles, improving skin texture, etc. After a series of long-term clinical and laboratory studies, retinoids (retinol acetate, retinol palmitate, retinolic acid) began to be included in not only medicinal but also cosmetic products.

Cosmetics containing retinol have the following advantages:

• Thanks to the ability to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin (the location of collagen and elastin), it helps maintain the firmness and elasticity of the skin, stimulates the growth and restoration of skin cells - an excellent and clearly expressed anti-aging therapy.

• The use of retinol-containing cosmetics allows you to fight expression lines and even deep wrinkles, improve complexion and even out skin texture, get rid of age spots, etc.

• Vitamin A is actively used to treat acne - it reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands (regulates the process of sebum secretion), accelerates the process of skin renewal, fights inflammatory elements and promotes the healing of wounds and scars after acne. For problem skin, retinol can be used both internally - in the form of an oil solution or pharmaceutical preparations (tablets) with a certain concentration of retinol, and externally - ointments, creams or gels.

• Retinol is one of the best anti-aging and restorative components of cosmetics, the effect of which has been proven and is already undeniable.

• The action occurs in two directions - desquamation (that is, exfoliation) and proliferation (cell division and growth), i.e. They thin the stratum corneum of the skin and thicken the epidermis. Therefore, retinol-based products simultaneously cleanse the skin of acne and age spots, smooth, renew and restore.

Side effects of retinol:

• In excessively high concentrations it can have a toxic effect on the body. Before you start using vitamin A (retinol), it is recommended to consult a doctor or highly qualified cosmetologist.

• May cause increased skin sensitivity to ultraviolet rays (photosensitization). In this regard, the use of cosmetics with vitamin A requires the use of sunscreens with a high SPF factor.

• The use of retinol is not recommended during pregnancy (especially in the first 3 months) and breastfeeding - there is no definitive research data on the effect of retinol on the fetus.

• Please note that using retinol may cause skin reactions such as flaking, redness, swelling and dryness (retinoic dermatitis).

Can only

at night or in the evenings, but not under cosmetics. Skin receptors are most sensitive to retinol at night, and besides, in the light, retinol completely loses its properties. This is probably the most important point of all today. This is indeed a very effective ingredient in anti-aging skin care lines, but if used incorrectly, the consequences can be far from happy.

Rules for using retinol for the face:

— Retinol is a very unstable product. When exposed to light and air, it oxidizes very quickly, so if you are thinking of buying this vitamin in liquid form, always choose capsules rather than bottles. Of course, you need to store it in a dark place.

— Retinol makes the skin more sensitive to the sun and ultraviolet rays, therefore, while using products with vitamin A, you must use Sunscreen or cream with a high level of protection during the day (at least SPF15 is recommended, but SPF30 and higher is better).

— If you are going to use retinol for the first time, then it is better not to do it every day. First 1-2 times a week, then more and more often, so that the skin has time to get used to it.

— For those whose facial skin is very sensitive, it is better to completely abandon the cream with retinol. She simply cannot stand it, this is a very powerful remedy. Some manufacturers offer creams with a more gentle formula, especially for sensitive skin, but everything is individual, and the reviews are very mixed, although mostly positive.

— Almost always, after the first use of a cream with retinol, red spots and a feeling of tightness of the skin appear. We need to continue using it. Usually after 1-2 weeks the skin gets used to it and everything returns to normal. If this does not happen, then your skin is sensitive to it and you should completely avoid cosmetics with retinol.

— Retinol should be used with caution on dry facial skin. Judging by the reviews, the skin condition worsens after use. In such cases, experts recommend using products with retinol a couple of times a week, no more, and take care of intensive skin hydration.

— It’s better to start using a cream with retinol in the fall and winter. Retinol increases skin sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation and it is better to minimize the risks.

— Retinol is mainly recommended for those who are already over 30, 35 and older. Many people believe that it can only harm young skin, but do not forget that the most effective acne treatments are also based on retinol, and they are used specifically on young skin. In addition, many manufacturers are already moving away from separating products by age; now it is believed that you need to use those products that your skin needs. For some, wrinkles appear after 25, while for others they are not visible even at 40.

What products can you combine retinol with for the effect of renewed, smooth skin?

It is very important to remember that retinol is hygroscopic, i.e. can dehydrate the skin, so it is necessary to combine its use with moisture-retaining products rich in hyaluronic acid or gluconolactone (moisturizes, activates the keratinization process, helps improve skin quality, has a lifting effect, lingers in the stratum corneum, providing long-term hydration, does not have an irritating effect, has excellent antioxidant properties, quickly restores the skin, has an anti-acne effect). Their use should be included in daily morning care, and at least once a week it is necessary to apply a deeply moisturizing mask. Due to its renewing ability, retinol is ideal as a conductor for the absorption of the active ingredients of products combined with it.

The best results were seen when it was combined with vitamin C, that is, retinol at night, vitamin C in the morning.
An approximate model of anti-aging daily skin care with a course of retinol would look like this:
Morning:

cleansing + antioxidant moisturizer with vitamin C + SPF
Evening:
cleansing + retinol (2 – 3 times a week)

The main disadvantage of retinol:

Use, even in a small percentage, is prohibited for pregnant women, lactating women, and also when preparing for pregnancy. No matter what they tell you, you shouldn’t experiment with teratogenic components of cosmetics at such a crucial moment in life.
