Positive aspects of retinol cream:
-
Anti-aging effects: Retinol increases skin cell production, helps unclog pores, exfoliates the skin, and increases collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a fresher, plump appearance.
-
Acne treatment: Retinol can help clear acne.
-
Softening of fine lines and wrinkles: Formulated with 0.1% retinol, Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream is designed to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Boosted effects with bakuchiol: Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream also contains bakuchiol, which helps boost the effects of retinol.
Negative aspects of retinol cream:
-
Potential for skin irritation: The more concentrated the product, the more likely it is to cause skin irritation. Prescription retinoids, which are more active, can irritate the skin sooner.
-
Concerns about excessive vitamin A intake: Daily skin application of vitamin A creams, including retinol, may contribute to excessive vitamin A intake for pregnant women and other populations, according to FDA, Norwegian, and German health agencies.
