The retinol family is pretty much the royal family of skincare👑
With the king is the FDA- approved anti-aging ingredient tretinoin 👑.
Retinol is also a very famous member of the family, but it's like Prince George, two steps away from the throne 👀
Retinyl palmitate (most famous ingredient in the skin care - with claimed name retinol, but is not)will be then Prince Charlotte (little sister), quite far away from the throne.
The evidence that RP is still an effective a bit-aging ingredients is not very strong, in fact, it's weak! It's topically ineffective! (Dr.Leslie Baumann in her book Cosmetic Dermarlogy)
RP is not not your ingredient if you wanna get serious about retinoids (retinol or retinoic is!) 🔆
If you use retinol, it doesn't matter what %, all companies will use almost the same %.
Do not apply it to the eye area it can irritate and damage your 👁️.
