What is the difference between Phyto-Retinol and synthetic retinol?
Synthetic retinols are packed with chemicals, like BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) which is known to take a serious toll on your skin. While synthetic retinol forces skin-cell turnover, it is incredibly harsh and strips your skin of all of the good that your skin needs to remain healthy, causing irritation, redness, discoloration, flaking, peeling and dehydration. Phyto-Retinol is packed with Provitamin A Carotenoids, (this is the good stuff) derived directly from plants. Your skin naturally stores all of these vitamins and minerals, which are then converted to Vitamin A, delivering a gentle dose of retinoic acid directly into the skin. Essentially, your skin is doing exactly what it needs to do, and is supposed to do, all on its own! As this is an intuitive process, not forced, your skin will not be left triggered in any way giving you all of the retinol benefits without any of the drawbacks. A smarter way to retinol.
