Retinol for oily skin — what it is, how it works and how to add it to your routine without irritation.
Retinol is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative and the gold standard of anti-ageing care. It speeds up cell turnover and stimulates collagen production.
Oily skin produces excess sebum, leading to shine and a tendency to break out. Retinol approaches the problem from a different angle: retinol is a vitamin A derivative and the gold standard of anti-ageing care. It speeds up cell turnover and stimulates collagen production. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for oily skin.
Introduce retinol gradually and always wear SPF during the day — skin becomes more sun-sensitive. Don't over-dry it — that only ramps up sebum production.
First changes are usually visible after 4–8 weeks of consistent use; lasting results take 2–3 months.
Start 2–3 times a week and build up based on how your skin responds. Don't over-dry it — that only ramps up sebum production.
Introduce retinol gradually and always wear SPF during the day — skin becomes more sun-sensitive. If in doubt, consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist.
