The key to selecting the correct skincare for your skin type is to understand what works best for you and what your skin requires to improve.
Often famed as the holy grail ingredient in skincare products, Retinol has many benefits for your skin. Derived from vitamin A, it helps in hyperpigmentation, anti-ageing, acne treatment, and overall skin renewal.
With that said, it helps to improve all types of skin concerns.
