Retinoid 101. #retinoid101
We wanted to answer some of the most common questions we’ve gotten lately about retinoids.*
Universal Pro-Retinol
Q: Should I be using a retinoid? Is it too early or late to start?
A: Dermatologists recommend them for a variety of reasons: breakouts, fine lines, dark spots, texture. You can start in your 20s, and continue throughout your life. You just shouldn’t use them if you’re pregnant or nursing.
Q: How do retinoids work? When will I see results?
A: They speed up cell turnover, increase collagen production, and help skin work more efficiently. You can expect some results around 4 weeks, but should give it a good 8-12 weeks.
Q: Where in my routine should I use a retinoid?
A: Always at night! Cleanse first, dry skin thoroughly, then apply your retinoid. Wait for it to absorb and follow with a moisturizer. It’s important to use sunscreen every morning.
Q: Are retinoids just a different type of exfoliator?
A: Nope. Chemical and physical exfoliators slough off the top layer of dead skin. Retinoids speed up the skin’s processes to renew skin from the bottom up.
Q: Can I use a retinoid with exfoliators and acne treatments?
A: There’s room for all of them in the same routine, but not on the same night. If you’re using Alpha Hydroxy Acids (chemical exfoliator) or Benzoyl Peroxide (acne treatment), it’s best to alternate.
Q: Do I really need to use a sunscreen?
A: This is non-negotiable if you’re using a retinoid. The fresh skin coming to the surface is more sensitive to UV rays, and you need to protect it every day with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+.
