What Does Retinol Do? 

This beauty favourite has been linked to various improvements in skin health, including neutralising free radicals to support collagen function.

This minimises the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines. 1

In addition, retinol has been associated with acne treatment. Its creation of comedolytic agents can help to prevent blemishes or redness forming on the skin. 1
