Stimulation of Collagen Production: Retinol stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. Collagen production tends to decline with age, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. By promoting collagen synthesis, retinol helps improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance […]
