Its power to deliver noticeable results in the fight against wrinkles, fine lines and hyperpigmentation has made retinol highly desired. But retinol has some side effects, including causing intense skin irritation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you reap the benefits of this potent ingredient but avoid the negative side effects?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scientists have discovered a natural alternative to retinol known as phyto-retinol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phyto-retinol is a 100% natural ingredient that can produce similar skin benefits as retinol, including reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and improving collagen levels within the skin, but it\u2019s much gentler than its synthetic equivalent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result is an effective alternative to retinol that can be used in a natural anti-aging skin care product.

These compounds regulate cell growth which has an impact on the typical signs of aging (such as fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation) and acne.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retinols are one of the most popular retinoids in the skincare industry, but they come with drawbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within skincare, retinoids are typically synthetically derived and therefore not permitted in COSMOS certifications. Retinol can often be difficult to formulate with, due to its sensitivity to light and pH, and can cause negative side effects due to speeding up cell turnover and renewal, which can lead to redness, skin flaking, rashes and general irritation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why scientists have been searching for an alternative to retinol for so long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What are natural phyto-retinols, and what are their advantages?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Phyto\u2019 means \u2018plant\u2019, therefore phyto-retinoids are a phytochemical which can produce similar skin benefits as retinol while being a natural ingredient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural anti-aging skincare products on the market containing phyto-retinols make a wide range of claims, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and improving collagen levels. And just like retinols, it can take between 6-12 weeks to see the skin benefits of using phyto-retinols.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, unlike retinol, phyto-retinol can be used by most skin types without irritation \u2013 especially those who may have not been able to use retinoids in the past. Its lack of phototoxicity means it can also be worn throughout the day or night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-134536 alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/05\/Phyto-Retinol-Comparison-Table.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Learn about phyto-retinol the 100% natural alternative to retinol\" width=\"1592\" height=\"994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/05\/Phyto-Retinol-Comparison-Table.jpg.webp 1592w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/05\/Phyto-Retinol-Comparison-Table-300x187.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/05\/Phyto-Retinol-Comparison-Table-1024x639.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/05\/Phyto-Retinol-Comparison-Table-768x480.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/05\/Phyto-Retinol-Comparison-Table-1536x959.jpg.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1592px) 100vw, 1592px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More research and studies are needed in order to make a more complete comparison between these retinol and phyto-retinol, however, it is clear that natural phyto-retinol is a safer and very effective anti-aging ingredient.
