With so many questions and misunderstandings surrounding retinol skincare, we are here to debunk the myths and help you on your way to a more youthful complexion! So without further ado\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does Obagi Retinol<\/span> do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nRetinol is a wonder skincare treatment that is the main active ingredient in OBAGI360\u00ae Retinol 0.5<\/span> and the SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance\u00ae Skin Rejuvenating Complex. The beauty of including this skincare ingredient in the Obagi<\/span> line is that it targets the main visible signs of ageing including pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, visible pores, texture and even acne. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWith regular application, retinol skincare will speed up the natural turnover of drier and more pigmented superficial skin cells, helping to reveal new skin cells and thereby producing an overall more youthful and glowing complexion. The application of Obagi Retinol<\/span> will also increase the skin\u2019s natural production of collagen, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. But the benefits don\u2019t stop there. Retinol cream even stimulates the production of new blood vessels in the skin which will improve your natural skin colour. Including retinol in your regular skincare routine is a trick you definitely don\u2019t want to miss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"skincare](\"https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/vitamin-d-deficiency-Cropped-300x300.jpg\" "\\"vitamin")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHow do you use Obagi Retinol<\/span>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWith all of the wonderful skin benefits of retinol, it can be tempting to slather this on your skin morning, noon and night, and we don\u2019t blame you! However, retinoids can cause skin dryness and irritation to begin with so it is recommended to introduce retinol into your daily skincare rotation slowly, and build up as your skin becomes more tolerant. If you are new to retinol, begin by applying it at night once a week, then twice a week and so on until your skin is comfortable with nightly application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After thoroughly cleansing your skin, use a pearl-size amount and gently smooth Obagi Retinol<\/span> to your face, neck (and hands if you wish) until fully absorbed. But don\u2019t forget to apply a generous amount of SPF during the day, the newer skin cells that retinol reveals can be particularly sensitive to sunlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAt what age should you start using retinol?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is one of the most frequently asked questions about retinol and there really is no definitive answer. Previously it has been recommended to start using retinol in your early 30\u2019s, but many women are incorporating it into their regular routine in their 20\u2019s in a bid to keep those early signs of ageing at bay. And if you haven\u2019t already started, fret not, it is never too late to feel retinol\u2019s benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it okay to use retinol every night?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
After building up tolerance it is absolutely okay to use retinol every night. The Obagi Retinol<\/span> range includes hydrating Jojoba Oil and Shea butter to keep your skin thoroughly hydrated and soothed, and help to minimise any possible irritation. The addition of Vitamin C and E will also help to neutralise free radicals whilst you sleep. Win win.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is a good percentage of retinol? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We are often asked \u201cwhat is a good retinol to start with?\u201d If you are new to retinol cream or have particularly sensitive skin we recommend starting with the OBAGI360\u00ae Retinol 0.5<\/span>. This concentration is effective at softening fine lines, minimising the visibility of pores and diminishing pigmentation, without being too harsh on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
