Retinol Our Fountain of Youth

Retinol is great for normalizing our skin's cell growth cycle. As we get older, our skin's cell growth cycle can slow down, so by adding Retinol to our regimen, this will lead our skin to the final stage of sloughing-off dead skin cells. Once our dead skin cells are shed, our skin will look and feel fresher. IMAGE Skincare Retinols are a Vitamin A derivative, and although it is not a pharmaceutical Retinoid better known as Retin-A, IMAGE Retinols are gentler than a Retinoid and can be used my most people without irritation. IMAGE Retinol will help normalize our skin cell cycles leading it to reveal fresher skin and minimize the appearance of large pores, fine lines and wrinkles.
Retinol also stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves firmness, fades hyperpigmentation (dark uneven skin tone/spots) and helps with certain types of Acne. It is imperative however to use a daily sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Retinol will make you more sun sensitve, and as you are doing something good for your skin, you can cause damage such as sun spots or sunburns if you do not protect it with sunscreen.
Two of my favorite Retinols are IMAGE Skincare AGELESS Total Overnight Retinol Mask and the AGELESS Total Repair Creme.
