In skincare, retinol transforms into retinoic acid within the skin, where it stimulates renewal, smooths lines, and fades dark spots for a brighter, more even complexion.
The Benefits of Retinol
- Fewer wrinkles, smoother skin
Retinol helps minimise both fine lines and deep wrinkles by encouraging collagen and elastin production. Over time, skin feels firmer, more supple, and visibly smoother. - Improved texture and radiance
By speeding up cell turnover, retinol removes dead skin cells and supports the creation of new ones, resulting in a more refined texture, an even tone, and a naturally radiant glow. - Protection from free radicals
Retinol also strengthens the skin’s barrier and helps neutralise free radicals - unstable molecules caused by UV rays, pollution and stress - preventing premature ageing and dullness.

Institut Esthederm’s Intensive Retinol range combines effectiveness and tolerance. Its unique formula is designed to reactivate cell renewal, refine texture, and boost firmness while remaining gentle even for sensitive skin.

How to Use Retinol Safely
Introduce retinol slowly - start 1 to 2 times per week, preferably at night.
Always wear sun protection during the day, as retinol can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Avoid using it during pregnancy or with strong acids and vitamin C at the same time.
Visible results, day after day
With regular use, retinol visibly transforms the skin: wrinkles fade, skin becomes smoother, and radiance is restored.
