‘Tis 2024 and the growing fear of ageing is finally staring Gen Z down to the bones. While ageing is a natural process, there is a battle of wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin tone. The quest for youthful, radiant skin is a universal desire. That’s where Retinol comes in handy.

WHAT IS RETINOL?

Retinol is a form of vitamin A that has become a popular ingredient in skincare products. It's known for its ability to improve the overall appearance of your skin.
