Retinol is pure active Vitamin A which is scientifically proven to produce healthy, plump skin cells. Because Retinol’s molecular structure is small enough to penetrate the outer layers of the epidermis, it can repair deeper layers within the skin.  Collagen and elastin are positively impacted by the benefits of Retinol, as it stimulates the production of collagen in the skin layers, and helps to rebuild and repair elastin fibers. Retinol accelerates cell turnover, encouraging dead skin cells to naturally exfoliate more quickly, thus revealing healthy, fresh cells. It is an excellent ingredient that aids in the repair of sun damaged skin.  Retinol has been proven to be extremely helpful in the treatment of acne without the drying effects
