A beginner’s guide to retinol, complete with all the essential products

A holy grail ingredient, retinol is an absolute must for those wanting to achieve smoother, rejuvenated skin. But what exactly is it, and how do you go about incorporating it into your skincare routine?
As the weather begins to dip as we approach Christmas, we may begin to notice the effects of winter on our skin. The cold and wind can make our complexions a little duller, indoor heaters can have an incredibly drying effect, and our skin barrier can become weakened thanks to the harsher weather, causing redness and irritation. All in all, it’s a bad time for the face, which means we’ll need to enlist the skincare big gun: retinol. And more specifically, the Neutrogena® Retinol Boost range.
For those unfamiliar with retinol, it’s a vitamin A derivative that works to speed up cell renewal, stimulate collagen production, and combat the signs of ageing. It helps to smooth out (or stave off) fine lines and wrinkles, even out the skin tone and dark spots, and give your skin a visible boost.
It’s an ingredient that can understandably cause some apprehension and one which some may have had previous negative experiences with. However, if you start slow, phase it in (at first weekly, and then more regularly), and follow it up with a gentle moisturiser to minimise dryness, you’re off to an expert start. SPF is always a daily essential, but retinol can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, so be extra sure to lather up with an SPF of 30+ minimum before leaving the house.
Whether you want to try it for the first time or reintroduce it to your routine, we couldn’t recommend the Neutrogena® Retinol Boost range more. Containing a dermatologist-proven form of vitamin A to stimulate cell renewal at the skin’s surface, and increase collagen production, it helps to achieve skin that looks rejuvenated and revitalised.
The Neutrogena® range blends three key ingredients with the aim of achieving maximum efficacy with great tolerability. Its core range of eye cream, night cream, serum and day cream is suitable for beginners and expert users alike. The Retinol Boost+ range with Intense Care Cream and Intense Night Serum is suitable for more experienced Retinol users.
