Retinoids

Retinoids, derivatives of Vitamin A, are potent actives used both in skincare and dermatology to stimulate cell renewal and enhance skin texture. They are particularly recommended for their effectiveness against wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and blemishes. However, although highly beneficial, retinoids need to be gradually introduced into the skincare routine to avoid irritation.

Retinol is a type of retinoid. Retinoids encompass several derivatives of Vitamin A, including retinol, a relatively mild form.

How to gradually incorporate retinoids into your skincare routine?

It is recommended to start using retinoids once or twice a week, in the evening, before gradually increasing the frequency based on your skin's tolerance.

Can we use retinoids in the summer?

Yes, it is possible to use retinoids in the summer, provided that sun protection is applied daily.

How long does it take to see results with retinoids?

The initial results following the introduction of retinoids into the skincare routine can be observed after six to eight weeks, but more significant improvements typically emerge after three to six months.

Are retinoids and hyaluronic acid compatible?

Yes, hyaluronic acid is an excellent supplement to retinoids for moisturising the skin and mitigating dryness effects.

Can retinoids be used around the eye contour?

Yes, it is possible, provided that treatments based on retinoids are specifically formulated for this sensitive area.

Are retinoids more effective than benzoyl peroxide in treating acne?

Retinoids and benzoyl peroxide are both effective for acne. Their effectiveness varies depending on individual skin sensitivity.

What is the "retinol-sandwich" method?

Designed for dry or sensitive skin, the technique of the retinol-sandwich involves applying a retinol-based serum between two layers of moisturising cream.

Which ingredients should be avoided when used concurrently with retinoids?

The use of exfoliants, such as AHA or BHA, or irritating actives, like pure vitamin C, in conjunction with retinoids is not recommended.

Do retinoids lighten the skin?
