Retinol for dry skin — what it is, how it works and how to add it to your routine without irritation.
Let's be honest about what Retinol can really do, and what it can't.
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative and the gold standard of anti-ageing care. It speeds up cell turnover and stimulates collagen production.
Dryness occurs when the skin lacks lipids, so it loses water and flakes. This is exactly where Retinol shines: 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 dry skin.
Introduce retinol gradually and always wear SPF during the day — skin becomes more sun-sensitive. Combine humectants with occlusives to seal moisture in.
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. Combine humectants with occlusives to seal moisture in.
Introduce retinol gradually and always wear SPF during the day — skin becomes more sun-sensitive. If in doubt, consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist.
