Let’s clear this up once and for all ✨ Retinol vs Retinoid — what’s the difference?
Both retinol and retinoids come from Vitamin A and work to speed up cell turnover, smooth fine lines, fade dark spots, and boost collagen ✨
💫 Retinol → gentler, available over-the-counter, great for beginners or sensitive skin
💫 Retinoid → stronger, prescription strength, often used for acne, deeper wrinkles, and advanced skin concerns
Both can transform your skin when used correctly — the key is choosing the right one for your skin type and goals 🫶
