# Retinol

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for France.

Retinol softens fine lines, smooths the look of wrinkles, lessens dark spots, and helps the skin feel thicker, firmer, and well-hydrated. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and it comes in [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum), creams, and eye creams, usually at strengths of 0.3%, 0.5%, and 1%. It works well in a routine with [green tea](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/green-tea), [ceramide-building complex](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/ceramide-building-complex), and [coenzyme q10](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/coenzyme-q10), while it should be kept apart from [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycolic-acid), [benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide), and [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/vitamin-c).

## Questions and answers

### What does retinol do for the skin?

Retinol helps stimulate [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/collagen) production and increases cell turnover, which significantly reduces fine wrinkles and improves skin texture. It may also increase epidermal thickness and extracellular matrix production to help reverse signs of aging.

### How do you use retinol?

You use retinol at night, applying it carefully to help smooth your skin and reduce fine lines over time. Topical retinol helps stimulate collagen production and can improve the appearance of aging skin.

### Should you use retinol in the morning or at night?

You should use retinol at night to help your skin adjust safely and avoid irritation from daytime sun exposure.

### Can you use retinol every day?

Yes, you can use retinol daily, though some pairings require alternating nights or different times of day to prevent irritation. Topical retinol helps reduce fine wrinkles and supports collagen production in aging skin.

[International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27261203/)

### Does retinol cause purging or irritation?

Retinol may cause skin irritation and scaling. Using it alongside ingredients like [bakuchiol](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/bakuchiol) can help achieve anti-aging results, though users sometimes report stinging.

[The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

### Which skin types is retinol best for?

Retinol is well-suited for all major skin types when the right products are chosen. For example, Lovi rates Dermalogica Retinol Clearing Oil as a superior fit for oily and combination skin, and Pixi Retinol Tonic as a superior fit for sensitive and mature skin.

### Can you use retinol with green tea?

Yes, you can use retinol with [green tea](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/green-tea) by applying the green tea first and then the retinol, because this combination helps keep your skin smooth and protected.

### Can you use retinol with glycolic acid?

You should keep [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycolic-acid) and retinol apart and use them on alternate nights to avoid skin irritation from layering strong ingredients.
