If you walk through the anti-ageing section of a skincare aisle, you will find Retinol plastered all over it. A form of Vitamin A, Retinol is a miraculous age-reversing ingredient that softens fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet – restoring your skin’s youthful appearance. However, Retinol’s topical application may cause irritation, inflammation, and other sensitivities in some folks. This is because, although effective, Retinol’s molecule is slightly unstable. So, how does one harness its power without flaring up underlying sensitivities? Let’s find out. We will also learn if Retinol is a good fit for your everyday skincare routine. What Really Is Retinol? As touched upon briefly, a form of Vitamin A, Retinol is the holy grail of anti-ageing. It is found in creams, serums, and even some cosmetic products. What Are The Many Benefits Of Retinol When formulated correctly, a Retinol Serum has the following benefits - 1. It makes your skin elastic and supple: For those unaware, Collagen (a type of protein) is your dermis’ building block. It is responsible for the structure and integrity of your skin but isn’t safe from depletion. Factors like ageing, continued solar exposure, and overtly sugary meals can damage the Collagen levels in your skin, making it loose and saggy. But not anymore! Topical application of Retinol helps counter this problem by boosting Collagen production in your skin cells. It also fades the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet for smooth, soft skin. 2. It prevents whiteheads, blackheads, and acne: The skin lays bare to aggressors, pollutants and impurities, resulting in a layer of unwarranted buildup. This menacing buildup clogs your pores, often leading to whiteheads, blackheads or even acne. Enter Retinol. Topical application of this ingredient prevents clogged pores, helping keep these inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne at bay. 3. It ensures an even texture for your skin: The skin has a unique set of functions for day and night. That’s right. While you’re busy counting sheep, the dermis sheds its dead cells and cues healthy cellular regeneration. Active ingredient Retinol facilitates this renewal process, ensuring an even texture and tone for your skin. Okay, But How To Deal With Retinol-Related Flare-Ups? We now know that Retinol molecules are unstable and often break open on the skin’s surface. This leads to burning, stinging, reddening, and other types of inflammation. But not anymore! Foxtale’s innovative Retinol Serum helps save the day. Using Encapsulated Technology, the formulation seeps into the skin to address concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet.

But does that make it okay to use the serum every day? Well, if you are new to Retinol (in general), start by using the serum 1 to 2 times weekly. If your skin responds well – use the serum for two nights in a row, a night off, and then repeat. If everything goes well for a month, add it to your daily skincare routine.
