It is most known for its anti-aging property because retinol binds to the retinoid receptors on the skin, enhancing cell turnover and stimulating the production of elastin and collagen (skin proteins). It thickens the deeper skin layers and enhances the skin's ability to retain water. This improves fine lines and wrinkles and reflects youthful, glowing skin. It also thins out the topmost cornified epithelial layer of the skin improving the tone and texture of the skin. It can help normalize the functions of oil glands and their follicles and is extremely helpful in controlling acne. It helps to soften fine lines and lightening hyperpigmentation in targeted areas or all over the skin.
