- Aging skin produces less collagen, resulting in the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Retinol stimulates fibroblasts, cells deep below the skin’s surface, to produce more collagen.
- New collagen begins to move upwards to the skin’s surface, and the rate of cell turnover increases.
- Collagen spreads evenly and fresh skin cells emerge lessening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Thoroughly wash skin in the evening
- A. If sensitive, apply moisturizer (like Alumier’s HydraRich or MD McNeill’s Intensive Night Repair)
- Apply retinol/retinoid to dry skin (Note: only use a thin layer if OTC strength, pea-size amount in thin layer if prescription)
- Apply moisturizer once retinol is absorbed
- Note: Make sure to wear sunblock daily!
- Extra: Include a gentle exfoliator (like MD McNeill’s Polisher) in the morning to help remove any dead skin and glow!
