Retin-A can improve skin texture and fade dark spots and freckles because it causes skin cells to turn over more rapidly. It shrinks dilated pores and improves cell turnover within the pores so they are less likely to clog and become blackheads and whiteheads.
What has earned Retin-A its long-held reputation is its ability to affect the retention of collagen. Collagen is what gives skin its structure, firmness and elasticity. Repeated sun exposure breaks down collagen and, with age, cells produce less and less collagen to repair the damage. Skin wrinkles, sags and loses fullness. Retin-A does double duty in helping to boost collagen. According to research at Michigan, it has the potential to stop photo ageing before it starts. Regular use of a retinoid product also increases the amount of new collagen formed, research has found, and that new collagen will last for years.
