Why Use Retinol?
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative known for its transformative benefits. It accelerates skin renewal, reduces the appearance of fine lines, brightens dark spots and unclogs pores. It's a hero ingredient in any anti-ageing or acne-fighting routine.

When to Use Retinol
Apply in the evening on clean, dry skin. Follow with moisturiser, and always use sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.
Pro Tip: Introduce retinol slowly (2–3 nights per week) and build up as your skin tolerates it.
