Retinol is one of the ingredients that has been shown to cause inflammation, irritation, and to damage the skin barrier, leading to sensitivity. Despite what the industry tells us about retinol creating baby-like skin, we must remember that the skin is the largest organ of our body and serves as a protective barrier. It interacts with our immune system; we should not irritate or burn it. Would you do that to any other organ in your body? That's why we need to care for it, protect it, love it, and treat it with care and respect.
