How to Get the Most Out of Your Retinol

And how to use it properly.

Must Have Must Have The Benefits of Retinol, According to Experts If you're into skincare, you're well aware of retinol, and for good reason. According to experts, retinol is one of the best ingredients for turbo-charging cell turnover and stimulating collagen production.

Dermatologists recommend starting slow and steady with a low concentration, because retinol is known to sensitize the skin.
