Retinol

Mid risk

FunctionAnti-aging

What it is — Retinol is a form of vitamin A used in skincare and premium scalp care.

What it does — It is associated with supporting cell-turnover and the look of smoother, more refined skin over time; it is used cosmetically for appearance, not as a medicine.

Typical use — Common in night serums, creams and targeted treatments, and occasionally in scalp products, usually at modest levels.

Who it suits / good to know — Retinol can cause dryness, flaking, redness or increased sun sensitivity, especially at first. Introduce it gradually, pair with moisturizer, and use sunscreen during the day. Many people prefer to avoid retinoids during pregnancy or breastfeeding — check with a healthcare professional.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test and start slowly if your skin is sensitive.
