Retinol Peel
What Is Retinol?
Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A. Due to its small molecular size it is able to target the deeper layers of the skin, therefore improving the overall skin appearance. This is caused by its intense resurfacing properties that cause shedding of the outer layers of the skin to reveal fresh, clear and brighter skin beneath. This ingredient works to increase the skin cell turnover and stimulate collagen production to improve texture, dull/flaky skin, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also reducing free radical damage and controlling excess oil production.
