What is Retinol?
- Retinol is a type of retinoid made from vitamin A. It does not remove dead skin cells. Instead, the small molecules that make up retinol go deep beneath the epidermis (outer layer of skin) to your dermis and helps neutralize free radicals. This helps boost the production of elastin and collagen, which creates a plumping effect.
