In Episode 16 of the Dermastore® Podcast we discuss one of our all-time favourite ingredients: Vitamin A. Plenty has been said, written, and, most importantly, researched on the subject of retinol on the skin, and there's a good reason for it. Retinol is likely the most important skincare ingredient of the past 50 years. This is simply because it can do so much for our skin in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, suppressing hyperpigmentation, and even prohibiting the formation of acne (and more!) Can you tell that we love talking about retinol? Well, onwards!
