What Nykaa E retail limited Says
Product Description:
Turn back the clock on aging and banish blemishes with this powerhouse retinol face wash. Your skin will thank you, and your mirror will prove it. With this secret weapon in your skincare arsenal, youthful radiance and a clear complexion can be yours again. Anti-Aging Benefits: The 5% retinol in the face cleanser helps stimulate collagen production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and signs of aging, promoting a more youthful complexion. Skin Renewal: Retinol aids in cellular turnover, helping to slough off dead skin cells and reveal fresh, rejuvenated skin. This promotes a smoother, more even skin texture and can improve the appearance of acne scars or sun damage. Improved Skin Tone: Turmeric in the face cleanser has brightening properties, helping to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots or hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more radiant and glowing complexion. Anti-Inflammatory Effect: Turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory properties, soothing the skin and reducing redness or irritation. It can be beneficial for individuals with sensitive or acne-prone skin, calming inflammation and promoting a calmer complexion. About The Brand: BAKE is a dermatologically backed active skincare brand which aims at revolutionising skincare

Ingredients Details
Glycerine
Common Name(s): Glycerin,universal humectant,water-binding skin conditioning
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Attracts and retains moisture in the sc, improves skin barrier function at low concentrations, provides gentle keratolytic softening, and acts as a co-solvent for water-soluble actives.
Why It's Used: The reference humectant โ lowest cost, best safety profile, universal formulation compatibility, and present naturally in the sc via lipase-mediated glycerolipid hydrolysis makes glycerin the industry standard against which all humectants are benchmarked.
How It Works: Three hydroxyl groups form 6 h-bonds with water molecules per glycerol unit โ the highest oh-group density per carbon of any commercial humectant. glycerin also down-regulates epidermal serine proteases that overactivate in dry sc, improving desquamation and barrier integrity.

Retinol
Common Name(s): Vitamin a,all-trans retinol,(all-e)-3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraen-1-ol
CAS Number: 68-26-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Retinol accelerates skin cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, fades hyperpigmentation, and helps normalize pore size.
Why It's Used: It is the most evidence-backed anti-aging ingredient available without a prescription. it provides comprehensive skin renewal benefits that no other single cosmetic ingredient can match.
How It Works: Retinol is converted in the skin to retinoic acid, which binds to retinoid receptors in cell nuclei. this activates gene expression changes that accelerate cell turnover, boost collagen synthesis, and inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (collagen-degrading enzymes).
Typically Found In: Night creams,serums,eye creams,targeted treatment products,anti-aging formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ vitamin a derivative
Secondary Functions: Exfoliating,anti-acne,brightening

Sensitivity Concerns: Retinization period: 2โ6 weeks of potential dryness, flaking, and sensitivity. photosensitizing โ must use spf when using retinol. avoid during pregnancy.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution โ start at 0.025%, buffer with moisturizer, use every 2โ3 nights initially
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Safe for general use at otc concentrations. not recommended during pregnancy. avoid with waxing. use spf daily. ewg hazard score: varies by concentration.

Avoid Combining With: Benzoyl peroxide (may inactivate retinol),ahas/bhas (when new to retinol โ overexfoliation risk),vitamin c (use at different times)
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Retinol is approximately 20 times less potent than prescription tretinoin (retinoic acid) but significantly better tolerated. the conversion rate of retinol to retinoic acid in skin is the rate-limiting step in its efficacy.
