4 Retinol Myths You Should Probably Erase From Your Mind

You don't have to be well versed in the skincare world to know that  retinol is a big deal. It's common knowledge that the product has a lot of benefits, especially anti-aging powers . "Retinol is a topical form of vitamin A," explains board-certified dermatologist  Roberta Del Campo, MD . "It is technically a form of a retinoid, which helps to promote collagen production, which improves the firmness of the skin. It also brightens skin by speeding up cell turnover and is also used to treat acne and minimize pores."
