When and how to use retinol?

How to start using retinol?
The most important thing here is how to use it and minimize the discomfort of peeling, sensitivity and redness. If you are just starting out, start slowly: use it once or twice a week and monitor how the skin reacts. If there is mild peeling and redness, but no persistent stinging, stay the course. Everyone's skin is different and therefore tolerates the ingredients differently - some people will stay with this frequency of use for years before they start to ramp up!
Retinol for beginners: when to start using?
Retinol is not just for older people. It can be used starting at age 25, when it can help maintain the skin's youthful appearance. You can start using retinol if you notice fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture or dark spots.
One of the applications of pro-retinol is how useful it is for treating acne marks early on, recent marks are easier to treat, which allows us to understand how using retinol on younger skin is not a misuse or a poor recommendation.
Pro-retinol has a multitude of benefits on the skin, which is why it arouses the interest of more and more people and more and more young people, which is why it is key to know how to use retinol in each case.
Which retinol products are ideal to start with?
Harness the power of pro-retinol with BLUE PRO-RETINOL MULTI-CORRECT CREAM, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and visibly improves skin evenness, resulting in a much more hydrated and radiant skin immediately. A renewed, soft, even and smooth skin is possible thanks to Biotherm. Thanks to the slow-release retinol, Blue Pro-Retinol is suitable for all skin types, although the use of sunscreen is recommended after its application.
Since using pro-retinol does not involve the precautions of using pure retinol, it makes it the ideal ingredient to start using retinoids. Not only that, pro-retinol is indicated for incorporation into routines for skin that is not necessarily mature, it is a very versatile ingredient.
Is pro-retinol the same as retinol?
Retinoids, or different forms of vitamin A, actually function like A in the ABCs of active skin care. The term retinoid is actually a general name for all the vitamin A ingredients you can find on the market. For example, retinol, retinoic acid and retinyl palmitate are all part of the retinoid category.
It is a more stable retinol derivative that, thanks to an enzyme, breaks it down into retinol and palmitic acid, progressively releasing the retinol into the skin, so it does not need progressive skin adaptation for use. Thanks to this slow release, it is suitable for all skin types, as it is gentler than retinol.
