Retinol – the powerhouse ingredient for smooth, glowing skin

Retinol – the classic of modern skincare

Retinol is one of the most well-known and thoroughly researched ingredients in skincare – and for good reason.

It is a form of vitamin A recommended by dermatologists around the world – for smoother, more radiant and even-looking skin.

Retinol – the powerhouse of modern skincare
Retinol supports the skin’s natural renewal process by stimulating cell regeneration and promoting collagen production – the structural protein responsible for firm, elastic and resilient skin.

Known as a true all-rounder, retinol helps activate the skin’s own renewal mechanisms, visibly smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pigmentation spots and refining the overall texture of the skin. It also helps keep pores clear, resulting in a clearer, more even complexion – even for skin prone to impurities or acne.

Because retinol is a highly active ingredient, it is recommended to start slowly. Application is ideally in the evening, as retinol can make the skin more sensitive to light. During the day, a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is essential to protect the skin and enhance results. In the first few weeks, slight redness or dryness may occur – this is completely normal and usually subsides as the skin adjusts to the ingredient.

Retinol is suitable for anyone who wants to address the first signs of ageing, such as fine lines, loss of elasticity or a dull complexion. It is also beneficial for impure skin, enlarged pores or uneven skin tone, helping to visibly improve the skin’s appearance.

Tip for beginners – a gentle start:
If you are using retinol for the first time, start by applying it only two to three evenings per week. On the other evenings, use your usual night cream. This allows your skin to gradually adapt before moving on to daily use.

Retinol is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Conclusion:
Retinol is one of the most powerful and versatile ingredients in skincare. It supports the skin’s regeneration and collagen synthesis, reduces wrinkles, refines the texture and promotes a visibly smoother, firmer and more even complexion. With regular and correct use, retinol reveals skin that looks youthful, radiant and full of vitality.
