Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A that accelerates skin cell turnover, boosts collagen production, and smooths skin texture. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and prevents new ones from forming.
Use silicone-free, non-comedogenic foundations with a natural or satin finish. Avoid heavy matte formulas that can settle into fine lines and make pores more noticeable.
Lighter skin has less melanin, making it highly vulnerable to UV damage. Strict sunscreen use, antioxidants, and early retinoid adoption are crucial for prevention.
Using harsh drying products that strip the skin, causing increased oil production and more noticeable pores while also damaging the skin barrier and accelerating aging.
