Retinoids are compounds from Vitamin A that are used in a number of skincare products for anti-aging purposes. They work by increasing the production of new skin cells which helps keep pores clear and skin smooth. In addition, they reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and therefore, are mostly used for individuals aged 20 and above. This ingredient is not typically appropriate for children, tweens, and teens.Â
Retinoids can:
Increase sun sensitivity
cause irritation like dryness and peeling
damage the skin's barrier
cause potential allergic reactions or severe side effects
