How does it be effective?

The principle of action of retinol is to exert its effect by binding to receptors on the cell surface. Retinol can bind to receptors in the nucleus, regulate the expression of regulator gene, and promote cell division and repair. At the same time, retinol can also inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, reduce the synthesis of melanin, and thus reduce pigmentation and darkening.

 

It should be noted that although retinol has many excellent effects in cosmetics, it also has a certain degree of irritation. Therefore, when choosing retinol products, it is necessary to choose the appropriate formula and usage method based on your skin type and problem, in order to avoid unnecessary irritation or allergic reactions.
