What is retinol?

Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is widely recognized in the world of skincare for its power to promote cell renewal and improve the skin's appearance. This ingredient works by stimulating collagen production, which in turn helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, retinol is effective in improving skin texture and reducing dark spots, making it an invaluable ally in the fight against aging.

Benefits of retinol for the skin

• Cell renewal: Retinol accelerates the cell renewal process, promoting smoother, more even-toned skin.
• Reduced wrinkles: Its ability to stimulate collagen production helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines.
• Improved texture: Regular use of retinol can lead to smoother skin that is less prone to imperfections.
• Dark spot treatment: It helps fade dark spots and improve skin tone, providing a more radiant appearance.

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that play a crucial role in skin health and appearance. These compounds play a key role in the production of collagen and elastin — two essential proteins that help keep the skin firm and elastic. Incorporating peptides into a skincare routine can help improve skin hydration, elasticity and overall texture.

Benefits of peptides for the skin

• Collagen stimulation: Peptides help increase collagen production, which contributes to firmer, more toned skin.
• Hydration: Many peptides have moisturizing properties, which help to keep the skin soft and supple.
• Reduced inflammation: Some peptides can help soothe inflamed skin and reduce redness.
• Improved elasticity: With the use of peptides, skin elasticity can be improved, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
