Retinol Cream

Retinol for Age Spots / Dark Spots

What are the benefits of retinol cream for liver spots, aka age spots or dark spots? Retinol cream stimulates new cell growth and can reduce the appearance of age spots. Again, this is a great product for overnight use.

Retinol comes in small containers because it loses its potency after a few months. You can get more benefits out of your retinol cream for longer if you keep it out of the light and tightly sealed once opened, and apply it sparingly right before bed, allowing it to soak in.

Retinol Product Application

Is retinol good for your skin? Our Retinol High-Quality Restorative Moisturizer, the best retinol cream you can buy, has many benefits -- but it’s important to use it correctly to avoid sun damage.

When applied as directed onto clean skin before bed to encourage skin cell generation, retinol can reduce the dark spots of aging and the look of wrinkles. However, retinol products should not be used:

• before going into the sun
• on your lips
• in a cleanser
• as a sunscreen, or
• by anyone who is pregnant or planning to become pregnant

Best Use of Retinol Serum

For the best results, make sure to use retinol products in applications that allow them to sit on the skin and preferably work overnight since it increases your skin’s sensitivity to light.

Also, a retinol moisturizer such as our Retinol High-Quality Restorative Moisturizer is the best way to access the benefits of retinol, and should only be used at night as part of your bedtime skincare routine. If your cleanser claims to contain retinol, you're washing this precious product down the drain. If your makeup claims to offer SPF protection and contain retinol, your makeup is at war with itself. Retinol increases your risk of sun damage by making your skin more sensitive. Don't waste your money on products that claim to contain retinol if you're going to use them during the day.

What is a Retinol Booster?

Many retinol boosters offer a combination of Hyaluronic Acid and retinol for a heavy-duty dose of overnight repair. A word of warning on using a retinol booster: You may notice a large improvement in the condition of your skin after applying a booster, but you will want to work up to a full application to avoid the risk of peeling. A retinol booster can be a huge jolt to your skin and cause the top layer of the dermis to shed.

Retinol can do amazing things for your skin, as long as you use it the right way! Our Retinol High-Quality Restorative Moisturizer is the best retinol cream, giving you a safe, effective way to experience the benefits of retinol for yourself.
