Keep reading to learn more about retinol and how to add it to your skin care routine with our best skin care products formulated with Pro-Retinol A.

What Is Retinol?

According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), retinol—a derivative of vitamin A—can help unclog pores and miminize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with continued use over time. Just keep in mind that the AAD recommends starting slowly to help avoid any dryness that may occur when using retinol. The AAD also recommends taking sun protection measures after using skin care products formulated with retinol, including applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher as directed, limiting your amount of time in the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., seeking shade, and covering up exposed areas in long sleeves, pants, UV-blocking sunglasses, and a broad-brimmed hat.
