When it comes to anti-aging skincare, it doesn't get much better or more effective than retinol. Previously an ingredient confined to the world of skin clinics and dermatologists, many of our favorite brands are bringing out retinol products, making it much more accessible.

If you're into skincare, you've probably heard the term 'retinol' before, but what exactly is it? Retinol belongs to the retinoid or vitamin A family. Despite being only one of the vitamin A derivatives, retinol is now the blanket term used to describe all retinoids, from retinyl palmitate to tretinoin. Retinol works by speeding up our cell turnover, a natural skin process that begins to slow down with age. By speeding up cellular turnover, you'll see a visible improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and your overall skin texture, resulting in a smoother, brighter and clearer complexion. Thanks to its multitude of benefits, it's ideal for targeting signs of aging, pigmentation and even acne.

Ask any skincare expert about retinol and they will agree that there really is no ingredient like it. However, with the power this ingredient holds you need to know exactly how to use it before you slather it on your skin. Retinol is an active ingredient, meaning it works deep within the skin at a cellular level to deliver real, visible results. Don't go in for the strongest product you can find thinking it will work faster; you need to go low and slow to build up some tolerance. If you're a retinol newbie, start with a low percentage and use a couple of times a week, gradually increasing usage as recommended by the brand.

From serums to masks and everything in between, our full collection of retinol skincare products will make a visible difference to your complexion from the very first use.
