What Is Retinol?
Retinol, also known as vitamin A or vitamin A alcohol, is a fat-soluble alcohol substance. It has multiple skincare effects, such as regulating the metabolism of the epidermis and the stratum corneum, effectively anti-aging, reducing sebum secretion, fading epidermal pigments, and protecting the epidermal mucosa from bacterial invasion.
The Main Efficacy Of Retinol
Anti-aging: Retinol penetrates deep into the dermis layer, activates fibroblasts, and promotes the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. It can significantly delay skin aging and is known as the "thief of time".
Improvement of closed comedones: It maintains the normal metabolism of keratinocytes at the hair follicle openings, reduces follicular blockage, and has a remarkable effect on the problem of closed comedones.
Enhancement of the epidermal water retention ability: It increases the content of glycosaminoglycans in the dermis layer, enhances the water-locking ability, making the skin more elastic, plump and moisturized.

Q&A About Retinol
Relationship Between Retinol and Retinoic Acid
When the skin absorbs retinol, it will convert it into retinoic acid. Retinoic acid regulates cellular activities through DNA, accelerates the metabolism of epidermal cells, increases the collagen in the skin, making the dermis layer firmer and thicker, and the stratum corneum denser, thereby enhancing the skin barrier function.
Do retinol and retinoic acid have the same efficacy?
Their efficacies are similar, but retinoic acid has a more potent effect, which may cause skin intolerance in some users.
Can retinol products be used during the day?
It is not recommended to use them during the day. Because retinol and retinoic acid products will exfoliate the aged stratum corneum and stimulate the regeneration of the skin. At this time, the skin is relatively fragile, and sun protection should be done well.
Is it necessary to build tolerance when using retinol?
Yes. Although retinol has relatively low irritation, it is still necessary to start with a low concentration. Test on sensitive areas such as behind the ears step by step. Expand the application range only after there are no adverse reactions.
Can retinol replace medical cosmetology?
No. Although retinol and vitamin A derivatives have anti-aging effects, they need to be used continuously for a long time, and the effects are not immediate.
