3 Retinol Moisturizers That Actually Work

As far as anti-aging ingredients go, retinol is among the crème of the crop for helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, evening out the skin’s tone, and unclogging pores. With benefits like that, it’s no wonder that many people want “in” on those results for their own skin, which is why this potent vitamin A derivative can be found in many product formulations from serums to moisturizers. If you’re looking for the latter, consider your search complete. Scroll through to discover three of our favorite moisturizers formulated with pure retinol from the L’Oreal portfolio of brands.

Editor’s note: Retinol is powerful stuff. When adding a product formulated with retinol into your skin care routine, start with a low concentration to allow your skin some time to adjust to the ingredient. Building up a tolerance is important to help reduce the risks of irritation. What’s more, only apply retinol in the evening and be sure to apply Broad Spectrum SPF 15 or higher daily, as the ingredient can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. When in doubt, talk to your dermatologist and ALWAYS follow the pack instructions for your product of choice.
