Retinol FAQs: How to Safely Use It, Benefits, Side Effects and More

What Are Health Benefits of Retinol?

Retinol may provide some benefits on the body. These include controlling the growth and development of skin cells on the body, unblocking clogged pores, boosting the production of collagen, reducing inflammation, and slowing skin aging. Applying retinol on the skin, therefore, would improve skin health and appearance.  When taken directly from supplements or food sources, the substance may play some important roles. These include:

– Healthy development and growth of body cells in important organs, such as lungs, kidneys, heart, and others.

– Eye health: Retinol is important for the production of pigments in the retina of the eyes. That’s why taking vitamin A may promote vision and prevent eye issues. [3]
