Product Description
Product Name: Retinol 2% Anti Aging Skin Serum 30ml
Product Form: Serum
Pack Size: 30ml
Manufactured By: HeyGlow
Used For:
Retinol, a form of Vitamin A, is commonly used in skincare to treat various skin concerns such as acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. It helps to promote skin cell turnover, unclog pores, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Side Effects:
-
Skin Irritation: Redness, dryness, peeling, or flaking of the skin, especially when first starting the product.
-
Increased Sensitivity to Sunlight: Retinol can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays, increasing the risk of sunburn.
-
Burning or Stinging Sensation: Some people may experience a mild burning or stinging sensation, especially if the skin is sensitive.
-
Excessive Dryness: Skin may become excessively dry, requiring more moisturizing.
-
Purging: The skin may initially break out as clogged pores are cleared out, a phenomenon known as "skin purging."
Precautions:
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Since retinol increases skin sensitivity, it's important to use sunscreen during the day to protect the skin from UV damage.
-
Pregnancy: Retinol should be avoided during pregnancy due to potential risks to the fetus.
-
Patch Test: It's advisable to do a patch test before full application to check for any allergic reactions or sensitivity.
-
Start Slowly: Begin using retinol slowly, perhaps a couple of times a week, and gradually increase frequency to avoid excessive irritation.
-
Avoid Using with Other Strong Actives: Retinol may not work well when used in conjunction with other strong ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, Vitamin C, or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), as they can cause irritation.
