Which Retinol is Best? (Short)

in #skincarelast year

As long as retinol is stored correctly and hasn't aged, it remains effective. Therefore, the decision for the best product comes down to:

Strength/Concentration:

Ranges from 0.1% to 1.0%.
A higher strength might be more irritating.
It's recommended to start with the lowest strength.

Packaging:

Choose airtight containers or tubes.
Retinol is sensitive to light and air, which can degrade its potency.

Formulation:

Opt for gels, creams, or lotions for optimal absorption.
Use gel formulations for oily skin.
Choose lotions or creams for dry skin.
If needed, balance with a suitable moisturizer. Remember, a gel is ideal for oily skin, and a lotion or cream is preferable for dry skin.
