Retinol: Four things you need to know

While some ingredients used in the skin have become a daily habit, such as vitamin C, hyaluronic and/or salicylic acid, retinol it's yet another ingredient that hasn't become as mainstream.

More for the reason that if it is not used correctly it can even cause a burn to the skin cuticle.

Use sunscreen the next day
Do not forget, the skin is more vulnerable to the harmful effect of UV rays, so it is necessary to apply a sunscreen with a high SPF the next morning.
No retinol during pregnancy
Doctors advise pregnant and lactating women to avoid vitamin A and its derivatives.
Do not overdo it
Using a larger amount is more likely to cause irritation to your skin than to see better results. That's why retinol in capsule form will offer you exactly the ideal amount.
Apply it at night
When you sleep, the body temperature rises slightly, the skin is warmer, the pores dilate so that all the ingredients of the care products are better absorbed, not just retinol. This is also the reason why most dermatologists insist on applying them at night
