Retinol boosts cell turnover, helping reduce fine lines and discolorations while at the same time creating dryness and irritation in some people, particularly when first added into their skincare regime or those with sensitive skin. However, Retinol may cause dryness or irritation depending on its usage or dosage, which could result in dryness or irritation on first use or with sensitive skin types.
Garshick suggests searching for a formula containing both hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and anti-irritation ingredients like niacinamide to help soothe irritation, Garshick advised.
The Derma Co Retinol Dropper Serum
Retinol helps create an even skin tone by increasing cell turnover and diminishing dark spots, hyperpigmentation and acne scars. Furthermore, it inhibits melanin production to decrease blotches and uneven pigmentation as well as unclog pores by clearing away dead cells and excess sebum that leads to breakouts.
Help manage fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen growth. Furthermore, this treatment smooths out rough patches while evening out skin tone for an all-over younger-looking complexion.
This serum is composed of 0.5% time-release encapsulated retinol to minimise irritation and sensitisation. Bakuchiol and antioxidant-rich Red Tea combine with this retinol formula to soothe, refine skin texture and create an overall glowing complexion.

Olay Retinol Overnight Serum
Though retinol has long been the go-to product for anti-aging skincare, its application to sensitive skin may cause discomfort. To minimize irritation, many prefer starting off slowly and increasing concentration gradually over time – Olay recently entered this market with their Retinol24 collection, comprising serum, moisturizer and eye cream products.
This serum features a proprietary combination of niacinamide and retinol for optimal skin. Niacinamide, an abundant form of vitamin B3, has an extensive body of scientific evidence behind it, such as its ability to smooth rough textures, brighten skin tone and even out skin texture. Meanwhile, retinol (along with its counterpart retinyl propionate) speeds cell turnover for reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
