Collection: Skin Care Products With Retinol

Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, is a powerful ingredient that speeds up skin renewal and fights signs of aging. By encouraging cell renewal, it reduces the appearance of concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. It also helps clear pores, which makes it useful for acne-prone skin as well. With regular use, it smooths and firms the skin and gives it a younger look. Learn more: What is retinol?

Serums with retinol are among the most effective products for fighting signs of aging on the skin. The Purest Solutions' retinol serums help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while evening out skin tone for a brighter look. Thanks to their lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas, they do not weigh the skin down and support the skin's renewal process with regular use.

Retinol is generally an ingredient used in the evening. The label of Yaşlanma Karşıtı ve Kırışıklık Giderici, Onarıcı Retinol Gece Serumu also recommends applying 1–2 drops to the skin in the evening routine; the serum is not rinsed off. The label does not state a starting frequency. If you are new to retinol, it is a common approach to start less often than every evening and progress according to your skin's response; you can determine the right frequency for you with your dermatologist. In the Repairing and Renewing Vitamin Care Set too, the retinol serum is reserved for the evening routine.

1. Cleanse your skin in the evening.
2. Apply 1–2 drops of retinol serum to your face.
3. Then apply your moisturizer.
4. In the last step of your morning routine, apply your sunscreen.

Because retinol can cause a feeling of dryness on some skin, it helps to provide moisture after the serum. For the relevant step of your routine, you can compare our moisturizing options according to your skin's needs.

The labels of retinol serums ask you not to neglect sunscreen during the daytime while using them. For the relevant step of your routine, you can compare our sunscreen options according to your skin's needs. Protection is also needed on the mornings after days when you use retinol only in the evening.

Retinol is one of the active ingredients that should be added to your routine in a controlled and gradual way. The Purest Solutions Retinol Gece Serumu can be applied in the evening routine as 1–2 drops on cleansed skin. The serum is not rinsed off, and after application your care can be completed with a moisturizer suited to your skin type.

For those just starting to use retinol, you can begin with 1–2 nights a week so that the skin gets used to the ingredient. As long as no marked dryness, redness or sensitivity develops, the frequency of use can be increased over time. Choosing products with a lower retinol concentration for the first uses can also help the skin adapt to retinol gradually. Retinol should be used in the evening routine; during the day, sunscreen should be applied as the last step of the routine.

A basic retinol routine can be built as cleansing the skin in the evening, applying the retinol serum and using a moisturizer. For skin prone to sensitivity or dryness, the “sandwich method”, applied in the order moisturizer–retinol–moisturizer, can be preferred.

The label of the retinol serum advises that pregnant women and those who suspect they may be pregnant not use the product; on the set label, this warning also covers those planning a pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding, take medication regularly or have a diagnosed skin condition, consult a specialist before use. The product is not recommended for irritated skin and must not come into contact with the eyes; if it does, rinse with plenty of water.

To see how your skin reacts to retinol, first test the serum on a small area; if sensitivity appears after application, stop using it and consult your dermatologist. Using retinol on the same evening as peeling products such as AHA and BHA can make skin more sensitive; separating these products onto different evenings, or asking your specialist, is a safer route. The serum's formula contains niacinamide and ethyl ascorbic acid, a vitamin C derivative, alongside retinol. Take this into account when adding similar actives to your routine. Store the serum at room temperature and out of reach of children.

When using retinol, it is important to follow your skin's tolerance rather than quickly increasing the amount of product or how often you apply it. Before first use, the product can be tested on a small area. If intense redness, burning or sensitivity occurs after application, use should be paused; if the complaints continue, a dermatologist should be consulted. Retinol should not be applied to irritated skin, and direct contact with sensitive areas such as the eye area and the corners of the lips should be avoided.

On evenings when retinol is used, layering exfoliating peeling products such as AHA and BHA in the same routine can increase the skin's sensitivity. For this reason, when products with strong actives are added to a routine, the products' instructions for use should be considered together, and the products should be separated onto different days when necessary. Supporting the skin barrier with moisturizing products and using sunscreen regularly during the day are also an important part of retinol care.

Retinol and other retinoid ingredients should not be used during pregnancy. Those planning a pregnancy or who are breastfeeding are advised to consult their doctor before adding a product containing retinol to their routine. This way, retinol can become part of a more controlled skincare routine, at a frequency suited to the skin's needs and tolerance.
