BEAUTY
There are a number of ingredients that are dominating the skincare market these days. You’ve likely seen them on product labels but do you know what they are and what they do? Here are a few buzz-worthy beauty ingredients and what you should know about them. Retinol
Derived from Vitamin A, retinol is considered by many to be the ‘holy grail’ of anti-aging products. It helps to speed up cell turnover which can reduce the signs of aging and result in smoother, fresher skin. However, because retinol causes skin to shed cells faster, it can also result in redness and skin irritation if used in excess or on sensitive skin.
