You may have noticed that retinol seems to be in almost every single anti aging skincare product but what is it and what does it do for our skin? Retinol is arguably one of the most effective and powerful ingredients to protect our skin against premature aging by stimulating cellular turnover and collagen synthesis. Retinoic acid is naturally found in our bodies, but just not in a large enough quantity once we get into our thirties to prevent against premature aging.
