Description Retinol

The information in the FAQ section was created by the Liki24.co.uk team and is based on the official manufacturer's manual

Retinol is a form of vitamin A and belongs to the family of compounds known as retinoids. This ingredient is commonly found in skin care products, especially for wrinkles or acne.

Forms of release

Products containing retinol are available in various forms:

retinol cream – such as Ivatherm retinoid night cream;
retinol lotion;
retinol serum – such as La Roche Posay retinol serum, The Ordinay retinol serum, Revox retinol serum or Cerave retinol serum;
retinol face masks or eye masks;
retinol eye cream;
retinol ampoules – such as Gerovital anti-wrinkle ampoules with retinol.

Indications for use

Retinol is commonly used in cosmetic products. It improves the appearance of the skin and is usually used to treat problems such as acne and wrinkles. It is usually recommended for wrinkles, uneven skin tone and signs of photoaging. It is usually suitable for sensitive skin, but this depends on the type of product and individual tolerance.

Dosage and administration

It is important to follow the instructions on the packaging or your dermatologist's recommendations. Retinol products are usually applied to clean, dry skin in the evening. If you use retinol products during the day, do not forget to use SPF protection of at least SPF 30. Start with lower doses and less frequent use, such as 1-2 times a week, and gradually increase the frequency as your skin adapts. Eventually, you can use retinol every evening, depending on your individual tolerance level.

Contraindications

Do not use if you are allergic or hypersensitive to this ingredient. If you experience any reactions or signs of allergy or intolerance, discontinue use, rinse your face with water and seek medical advice.

Interactions with other medicines and foods

There may be interactions with other cosmetic ingredients, so it is recommended to read product labels and avoid combinations that may be irritating. Retinol may interact with other cosmetic ingredients such as vitamin C in high concentrations (may cause irritation), exfoliating acids (may increase the risk of irritation when used with retinol), products containing alcohol or irritating ingredients (fragrances, colourants - may increase the irritating potential of products containing retinol).

Side effects

Initially, retinol may cause redness, tingling or dryness. As your skin adjusts, these effects will diminish. That is why you should introduce retinol gradually into your skincare routine. If reactions persist or worsen, discontinue use or use less FAQ. If severe irritation occurs, seek medical advice.

Overdose

Introduce retinol gradually into your skincare routine and use as directed on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Excessive use may cause irritation or flaking.

Storage

Retinol products should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent deterioration.
