Retinol evens out the skin tone, reduces discoloration, smoothes wrinkles, reduces seborrhea. It belongs to the golden four of active ingredients, also known as the golden standard of care.
What is worth knowing and how to use cosmetics with retinol? Preparations with retinol don’t come off the top of the most effective. Cosmetics with reinoids are a remedy for the aging process and promote global rejuvenation: they shallow wrinkles, brighten the color and firm.
Is retinol good for everyone?
To start care with this ingredient, it is worth paying attention to what form of retinoid the cosmetic contains, what concentration it is, and what substances accompany it. Usually, the skin should be accustomed to the use of vitamin A, gradually increasing the concentration of retinol and the frequency of its application. On the other hand, the InVitive series uses such concentrations of retinol and such a form of ingredient transport (ceramide coatings, gradual release of retinol deep into the skin), so that it is not necessary to “adjust the skin” or use it as a periodic treatment. Invitive are cosmetics that can be used continuously throughout the year, also in summer (with minimum SPF 30 sun protection).
Properties of retinol
Retinol is responsible for the formation and growth of skin cells, protects against transepidermal water loss, normalizes the work of sebaceous glands, and prevents discoloration by regulating the processes of melanogenesis. The skin deals with all these changes in the perimenopause period. That is why it is worth introducing Dr Irena Eris InVitive with retinol. These cosmetics, created with the needs and condition of the skin in mind during this period.
InVitive cosmetics contain active ingredients with carriers that enable and facilitate their penetration into the skin, where they are gradually released. As a result, the rejuvenating effect is extended. They contain pure retinol at a concentration of 0.1% and 0.15%, which is closed in microspheric ceramide carriers. As a result, the action of this substance is 7 times longer, and the penetration 2.5 times greater than in the case of ordinary retinol without ceramide shells. Vitamin A has an exfoliating effect, so its “company” is also extremely important – not all ingredients can be used when using retinoids and not all of them can be combined with it. In the InVitive range, the advanced collagen heptapeptide PSC III (Peptide Collagen Stimulator) was used in the formula of the products. It stimulates the synthesis of collagen III and I, which has a smoothing and firming effect on the skin.
In addition, InVitive also includes Pro-retinol from blue-green microalgae, which is a nutritional bomb with as many as 11 vitamins (including vitamins A and B), as well as 11 amino acids and 5 minerals. Pro-retinol works similar to pure retinol, but does not react with the sun, so it is safe to use in day care.

Retinoids and the pure form of vitamin A (retinol) exfoliate the skin, which is beneficial for improving the color, firming and reducing seborrhea.
