Retinol vs Revinage: Which is better for your skin?

As you age, your collagen production slows down. Retinol, when applied, works to boost collagen production in your skin. But for many people incorporating Retinol into their skincare routine is similar to finding the last piece of the puzzle. This much-discussed ingredient is one of the most potent skin-care ingredients. Even though it has some advantages, it does not seamlessly work for everyone.

What is Retinol?

Retinol is a type of retinoid derived from Vitamin A that is also a type of retinoid. The ingredient is famously known for its anti-ageing properties.

Revinage: The plant-based alternative of Retinol

Revinage is a plant-based extract acting like synthetic retinoids. It is found in Bidens Pilosa that is commonly known as blackjack. The effective plant-based extract regulates cell proliferation and differentiation for cell rejuvenation.

Now that you've learned about the two ingredients, let's look at the side effects of Retinol and why you should avoid it and choose the safer alternative, ‘Revinage’.

Side effects of Retinol:

Retinol is not for everyone as it contains strong antioxidants. Whereas, Revinage being a plant-based extract, is safe for everyone and every skin type to use. However, one thing to keep in mind is that Retinol is effective but it does not work for everyone.

Benefits of Retinol

To summarise, Revinage contains all of the benefits of Retinol. As a result, you don't have to include a product that scares you in your skincare routine. Choose a natural alternative that mimics and provides many more benefits with no side effects.
