Take this quick Q&A to understand the difference between these two skincare buzzwords.
Retinol… retinoid… we’re seeing these words all over the skincare world - but what does it all mean? And what’s the difference?
As it turns out, retinol is actually a type of retinoid. A retinoid is a Vitamin A derivative that has many subtypes, including retinol. Retinoids are stronger and more potent, which is why you usually need a prescription to attain them. Retinol is a less potent, gentler ingredient that can be found in common skin care products like serums.The simple answer lies in the difference between how retinoids and retinol are processed on the skin.
For ageing skin, we love using a serum such as Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum. It’s formulated with a 3.5% Retinoid Complex that easily and effectively treats the 4 signs of skin ageing. Use this serum in the evening as part of your nightly regime. For acne and breakouts, reach for Retinol Clearing Oil, which infuses reparative retinol with skin-supporting ingredients to clear and calm bumpy skin.YES, If you use retinol in the daytime, always remember to apply and reapply sunscreen. Sun exposure can heighten skin sensitivity and potentially irritate skin that’s already susceptible to damage due to retinol use. Never leave home without sunscreen. Make sure to top off your retinol treatment with a protective moisturiser.
