It should be combined with sunscreen and follows a four-step skin care routine of cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen.

6. HOW RETINOL IS AN ACNE TREATMENT
Acne is a condition of the skin that happened when hair follicles and pores
become filed with oil, dead skin cells, pollutants in the air, and other substances
then mix into the area.
Retinol is used to minimize oil production, eliminate bacteria and reduce
inflammation. May experience an increase in acne at the beginning of the
treatment.

7. HOW RETINOL HELPS WITH SKIN SCARS
Scars occur when blood vessels occupy affected area, which gives the skin a pink appearance. Scars from
acne, pox, accidents or other diseases of the skin can be treated through dermabrasion.
Dermabrasion is the process of sanding down the skin with a rotating brush, which levels the scar in the
surrounding area. Not to be confused with microdermabrasion (tiny crystals sprayed on the surface and
used to smooth skin).
After, or along with, the process of dermabrasion, retinol aids the process by reducing collagen synthesis
and therefore reducing the significance of the scar.

10. RETINOL REVERSING THE EFFECTS OF SUN EXPOSURE
Sun is the #1 cause of uneven toning and wrinkling of the skin. The skin naturally
tries to compensate the effects of the sun by increasing the production of the
pigment melanin, which gives the appearance of either a terrible burn or a
beautiful glowing sun tan, depending on your sensitivity to the sun.
