There's a reason many dermatologists consider retinol to be a gold standard in skin care — it combats the most common issues people have with their skin, including:

• Reducing aging: Retinol promotes faster cell turnover rates, which tend to decrease as we get older, contributing to the look of fine lines and wrinkles. When your skin regenerates faster, it can combat skin issues more quickly and reduce their appearance.
• Evening skin tone: Retinol includes exfoliating and brightening agents, which help remove dead skin cells and dirt, revealing new, smooth skin. This also helps dark spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation fade away faster.
• Preventing breakouts: Because it's an excellent exfoliator, retinol gets rid of oils and dirt that would otherwise clog pores and cause acne.

There is conflicting information online about the best ways to use retinol. These tips will help you get the most out of your new favorite products:

• Start slow: Retinol is a potent tool in skin care, which is one of the reasons people love it so much. Due to its intensity, it can irritate a the skin. Start by using it once a week, and if your skin tolerates it well, increase to twice a week and keep increasing until you reach everyday use or however often your skin can handle it.
• Use at night: UV rays can break down the active compounds in retinol and make your skin more sensitive to photodamage. We recommend using it at night or when you won't be outside for a while. 
• Stay dedicated: It can take some time to see the effects of retinol. Even though a lot of people see drastic results, it can take a while for the retinol to jump-start your skin. Stick with using your favorite retinol product for at least three months before trying something else.
