How it works
When retinoids enter a cell, they form a bond with nucleic sensors. Thus, sections of the cell's genome are activated or slowed down. The effects of retinol on the epidermis are as follows: Epithelial cells begin to produce more protein and collagen fiber networks, and the existing collagen is broken down more slowly. The result of these two effects is that the skin's collagen content increases, which leads to a reduction in wrinkles. Retinol accelerates the division of the cells of the basal layer, thereby stimulating the renewal process of the upper layer of the skin.
