RETINOL: TRUE OR FALSE?

❓ RETINOL THINS YOUR SKIN.
❌ FALSE. Retinol sloughs off dead skin cells so you might see flakiness. However, it actually THICKENS the dermis, which is the LIVING part of the skin, so skin gets THICKER overall.

❓ RETINOL should be used under/around the eyes.
✅ Many studies have shown that Retinol softens fine lines under the eyes and crows feet 👀 by building collagen to strengthen this delicate area.

❓ Redness means you’re allergic to Retinol.
❌ Some redness is expected when you start Retinol, but this is usually not an allergic reaction. To avoid redness, start slowly: apply at night 2-3 times a week to start.
