Retinol, a versatile skincare ingredient, offers benefits to all skin types. However, achieving visible results requires a gradual approach to building your skin’s tolerance to it. Common signs of irritation such as redness, flakiness, and dryness may occur depending on individual tolerance levels. Given its potency, experiencing moderate sensitivity is not uncommon.
Recognized as one of the most potent anti-aging agents, some degree of sensitivity when using retinol is expected. The timeframe for skin to adapt varies from person to person. Nevertheless, adjusting the strength of the product and frequency of use can help manage your skin’s response. With time, your skin adapts to retinol, unveiling a smoother, more even-toned, and youthful complexion.
For those new to retinol, ZO® suggests starting with a lower concentration and incorporating it into your PM routine 2-3 times a week. Gradually increasing usage to every other day as your skin adjusts is recommended. Once your skin reaches an optimal tolerance level, you may consider advancing to a higher potency retinol treatment. Additionally, it’s essential to consistently apply facial sunscreen, particularly during daytime use.
For personalized guidance on selecting the optimal strength, consulting with our qualified Somatologist is recommended.
