Retinol Creams For Dry Thin Skin

By Linda Robison of Wrinkle Free Skin Tips

Sensitive, Dry, Thin Skin? Retinols Can Help

Most people are familiar with standard skin rejuvenating techniques such as Retin-A, chemical and laser peels. These types of techniques are for great middle aged people with moderate skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkle because they work by exfoliating and peeling the top layers of the skin – exposing fresh, blemish free, unlined skin underneath.

However, what most people don’t realize is these techniques can actually do more harm than good for thin, dry, wrinkled aging skin because it thins the skin even further promoting sagging tissues and fine lines.

What Can You Do?

Stick with Retinol based products. A recent study in the Archives of Dermatology found that retinol creams reduced the appearance of wrinkles of participants whose medium age was 80 or over. Some found results in as early as four weeks – which is a pretty amazing considering the age of the participants. Also, retinols have been proven to help increase skin oils and produce collagen – both are extremely necessary for those with dry, thinning skin.

What About Acne Skin?

Unfortunately, many people over 40 still suffer from Acne –while trying to deal with aging skin and wrinkles – talk about a skin care challenge! Well retinols have been report to help with chronic cystic acne because of its ability to exfoliate dead skin layers and unclog pores.

What Is Retinol?

Retinol is a small molecule derived from vitamin A. It is part of a group of components called retinoids. One of the beneifts of this is that it can penetrate into deeper layers of the skin helping to building collagen. This is important in eliminating shallow wrinkles, fine lines, and increase moisture and elasticity. Retinol based creams are a great, safe anti-aging alternative for sensitive aging skin.
