Retinol Cream Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Retinol is a fat soluble form of Vitamin A which is found in animal products. It is essential for good vision and for bone growth. It also stimulates cell growth and thus has become a popular ingredient in anti-aging products. Retinol comes in many different forms. It can be purchased as a stand alone product in the form of Retinol Cream or can be purchased as an ingredient in an anti-aging products which contains other ingredients. Retinol can also be taken as a supplement but can be toxic and should not be taken by anyone who is pregnant or anyone who has liver disease.

Product Details

Normally Retinol Cream can be purchased relatively inexpensively either directly on line or from your nearest drug store. Many people find it effective against the signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles. However Retinol Cream has also been found effective to treat other skin problems such as acne scars and sun damaged skin. Those who have sensitive skin often find it difficult to tolerate Retinol Cream. This is because it has a number of side effects. It can lead to severe drying of the skin, as well as stinging of the skin, redness and irritation. At one time Retinol was the darling of those that manufacture anti-aging products. However with time other anti-aging ingredients have been developed which don’t have the side effects that Retinol based products and Retinol Cream sometimes procures. Clinical trials and research for example have shown that peptide combined ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000 can also have a positive effect on signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles.

The Good

  • Retinol Cream can be purchased either online or in drug stores.
  • Retinol Cream is normally relatively inexpensive to purchase.
  • Retinol Cream does have some skin regenerating effects.

The Bad

  • Retinol Cream can procure side effects such as stinging and burning of the skin.
  • It is often not suitable as a long term solution to signs of aging due to its side effects.
  • There are other effective anti-aging ingredients available which do not procure side effects.
  • Retinol is not suitable for those who suffer from sensitive skin.

The Bottom Line

Although some women have found Retinol Cream effective in reducing the signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles, developments in skin care research has meant that there are now other effective anti-aging ingredients available such as Matrixyl 3000. Although Retinol Cream may be useful in the short term to deal with skin care problems such as scars and sun damage, it may not be the best long term solution to the signs of aging on the face due to its side effects.
