An essential ingredient in the world of cosmetics, retinol is your skin's precious ally. But what exactly is retinol? Used wisely, discover its effects on the skin and how to incorporate it into your beauty routine to reap all its benefits. A closer look at an active ingredient with extraordinary properties.
What is retinol?
Also known as vitamin A, it is an ingredient with multiple skin-regenerating properties. Known for its anti-aging properties and effectiveness in treating various skin problems, retinol is used in skin care products due to its positive effects on skin texture, firmness, dark spots, and radiance.
The effects of retinol on the skin
1. Refine skin texture
This active ingredient promotes cell renewal to refine skin texture and improves skin texture, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and facial imperfections.
2. Fight against dull complexion
By refining skin texture, retinol renews and regenerates the skin, resulting in a visibly more radiant complexion. During a course of treatment, the skin becomes visibly younger and more luminous day after day.
3. Prevent the signs of aging
A powerful active ingredient, this anti-wrinkle ingredient works deep within the dermis and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are primarily responsible for skin tone. A serum enriched with retinol helps fight skin aging, reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of firmness.
When and how to use it?
Incorporating retinol into your beauty routine can make all the difference. The key lies in using this powerful active ingredient properly to ensure optimal results while minimizing the risk of skin sensitivity. A powerful active ingredient, it can weaken sensitive skin, which is why it's recommended to apply retinol as a course of treatment and complement it with a suitable day and night routine.
We recommend using it only in the evening on the entire skin, including the face and neck. Indeed, in the evening, the skin enters its regeneration phase and retinol can work deep down to promote cell renewal. The properties of a retinol serum will then be fully exploited at night. For all skin types, we recommend applying it to perfectly cleansed and dry skin, taking care to use it with caution to avoid irritation. Retinol is photosensitizing and should not be used during the day.* [section-results]
While retinol is effective for wrinkles and improving skin texture, it can be difficult for even the most fragile skin to tolerate, and it must be used with good daytime hydration to be effective. We recommend combining it with a moisturizing face cream enriched with hyaluronic acid, followed by sunscreen to protect your new skin. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, the Wrinkle Smoothing Cream smoothes and protects the skin from external aggressions, it boosts the effects of retinol.

Photosensitizing, we recommend always combining your retinol serum with sunscreen during the day for the duration of your treatment. This active ingredient sensitizes the skin and the sun's rays could cause the harmful effects of retinol on the skin. We recommend applying a high protection sunscreen or CC cream to your skin to protect it. The Anti-Redness CC cream SPF50 evens out the complexion, camouflages redness and brightens the skin to promote radiance.
