Retinols activate the skin cells in the outermost layer of the skin to increase the turnover rate so that new skin cells can be generated. This will help in flawless and smooth-appearing skin.
One important characteristic of retinol is that it not only directly improves skin health but also promotes the production of other useful ingredients. It increases the production of natural chemicals like hyaluronic acid, a natural moisturizer. Boosting the collagen production in skin cells makes the skin tough and wrinkles-free.
