      WHAT EVERYONE'S ASKING:

      What is the difference between Retinol and Retinoid?

      Retinoids are a class of skincare ingredients derived from vitamin A. Retinol is a type of Retinoid. Retinoids, including retinol, address a variety of skincare concerns—from wrinkles to pores to radiance.

      How do Retinoids work on the skin?

      Retinoids support skin’s natural cell turnover process by helping shed dead cells so your skin appears smoother, brighter, and more even toned with continued use. Retinoids are also known to support the natural production of collagen, which is a naturally occurring protein that lends skin its firmness and elasticity.

      How often should I use a retinoid serum?

      How often you use a retinoid serum depends on the type and strength of the retinoid used. Some retinoids, including retinol, can temporarily cause visible redness or irritation to the skin, particularly at the start of use and should only be used once daily. This is why a phase-in period is often recommended: Applying most retinoid serums two to three times a week, preferably at night, for the first week or two, can give your skin a chance to acclimate. At Origins, our newest retinoid serum goes above and beyond -- Plantscription™ Active Wrinkle Correction Retinoid serum is gentle enough for use twice a day from the first day. It’s a good option for those with sensitive skin types and for first time retinoid users.

      What are the best products to use with a Retinoid serum to achieve the best results?

      Since some retinoids can cause dryness, we recommend always following with a moisturizer. In addition, retinoids are sensitive to sunlight, which means when exposed to UV rays, they can break down. This can photosensitize skin, making skin more susceptible to sunburn. The best—and most essential—product to use daily when using a Retinoid serum is an SPF.

      What is the best way to apply a Retinoid serum without damaging or irritating skin?

      There are a few ways to apply a Retinoid serum to help alleviate potential irritation.

      1. Go slow and apply your Retinoid serum at night and every two to three days for the first few weeks.

      2. Use the Retinol sandwich method, an application technique where you “sandwich” the retinol between two layers of moisturizer for additional hydration. When using this method, make sure to choose a moisturizer with ingredients that play nicely with Retinoids, like Peptides, and give your skin an added burst of hydration, like Hyaluronic Acid. Our favorite moisturizer for this application method is Plantscription™ Lifting + Firming Cream.

      3. Choose a Retinoid serum specifically formulated to reduce the potential for visible redness and irritation, like Plantscription™ Active Wrinkle Correction Serum with Retinoid. It’s gentle enough to use day and night, for sensitive skin types and for first-time Retinoid users.
