I’m starting to see signs of aging on my face and considering trying retinol, what are good products of Ulta Beauty that are suitable for beginners?

Targeting indications of age, retinol can be a great addition to your skincare regimen. From Ulta Beauty, here are several retinol products suitable for beginners:

- Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream: Those just starting retinol often choose this. Designed to be mild on the skin, it contains less retinol content.
- The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion: Though it's still mild, another good choice for novices is this emulsion, which has a somewhat greater retinol concentration than the Good Molecules cream.
- La Roche-Posay Redermic R Retinol Cream: This cream is a complete choice since it blends retinol with other anti-aging compounds including salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid.

A few tips for using retinol:

Start by using retinol once or twice a week. As your skin gets used to it, slowly increase the number of times you use it.
Because retinol can dry out your skin, you should use a good lotion before and after you put it on.
Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so make sure you wear sunscreen every day.

These are key issues that we can offer. If you have more, please share.
