If we could only have one anti-aging active ingredient, it would probably be this one! Retinol is part of the retinoid family and is often compared to retinol. The latter is the star active ingredient in anti-wrinkle treatments, but it’s not for everyone, as sensitive skin can experience reactions following the use of retinol treatments. Retinol works effectively on skin texture, blemishes and signs of aging thanks to its formula that is close to vitamin A. Hence, it is gentle and best suited for sensitive and reactive skin.

How to apply it?
Retinol is a powerful active ingredient, so incorporate it into your beauty routine a little at a time. Once a week, then twice, gradually increase according to your needs.
- In the evening, apply a small amount of the product to your clean and dry face and neck. Avoid the eye area.
- Use a moisturizer. Do not use other products containing retinoids.
