Retinol is one of the most renowned and debated actives in the world of skincare and
bodycare. A derivative of vitamin A, it is known for its extraordinary anti-aging,
regenerating, and skin-tone evening properties. Widely used in luxury cosmetics, it has
become a key ingredient in many treatments. However, in some cases, it has caused
irritation in certain skin types, prompting the European Union to introduce new
regulations to protect consumers. As of May 1, 2025, the maximum allowed concentration
of retinol in formulations will be set at 0.3% in face creams and 0.05% in body creams.
Why is it so loved?
Retinol is a clinically proven ingredient that:
✔ Stimulates collagen production, reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
✔ Accelerates cell turnover, enhancing skin radiance.
✔ Minimizes dark spots and discoloration, evening out skin tone.
✔ Works on acne and enlarged pores, thanks to its keratolytic properties.
✔ Improves body skin texture, making it beneficial for keratosis pilaris or skin laxity.
Why is it feared?
Despite its benefits, retinol can cause side effects, especially when used in high
concentrations or without adequate sun protection:
⚠ Dryness and redness, particularly for sensitive or dry skin.
⚠ Irritation and peeling, especially in sensitive or dry skin types.
⚠ Increased sun sensitivity, raising the risk of sunburn.
Retinol is a true beauty ally, capable of making a significant difference in skin appearance
—especially when used correctly.
