What DERMEASE Says
Product Description:
Retinol is a well-known ingredient in skincare, especially for its association with anti-aging and skin renewal. It’s derived from vitamin A and has gained popularity for its potential benefits in promoting smoother, healthier-looking skin. Recently, retinol has made its way into face washes, creating a unique product designed to cleanse while providing some of the properties associated with retinol. Retinol face wash is a type of cleanser that contains retinol as one of its primary ingredients. This product is designed to clean the skin while also delivering the effects associated with retinol, which may include promoting skin cell turnover and improving skin texture. Unlike traditional face washes that focus solely on cleansing, retinol face wash aims to provide additional benefits with every wash. Retinol face wash offers a unique approach to skincare by combining cleansing with the potential benefits of retinol. This product can simplify your routine, making it easier to incorporate the advantages of retinol into your daily regimen. Benefits include reducing fine lines and wrinkles, boosting skin hydration, brightening complexion, soothing and calming skin, and providing antioxidant protection.

Ingredients Details
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

Avoid Combining With: Benzoyl peroxide (may inactivate retinol),ahas/bhas (when new to retinol – 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.
