What does retinol do?
No matter your skincare concern, you have probably already come across the newest reigning ingredient in the industry: Retinol. This vitamin A derivative has a proven track record of improving skin in all areas, from enhancing firmness and radiance, to fading dark spots and wrinkles. By stimulating the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, retinol has made its name as an all-star skincare ingredient. However, it should be noted that this versatile ingredient can cause initial side effects like irritation or redness, and may not be suitable for sensitive or reactive skin. Fortunately, Clarins Research, with its unique expertise in plants, has succeeded in finding an equally effective* plant-based alternative to retinol that is even tolerated by sensitive skin types - organic Harungana extract.
*Comparative clinical study carried out on the anti-wrinkle and smoothing efficacy on 46 women who applied a base containing either organic harungana extract, or retinol with a % of ingredient identical to that of the finished product, for a period of 56 days.

What are the different types of retinol?
“Retinoid” is the umbrella term that describes all of the vitamin A derived ingredients we see in skincare, including both prescription and over-the-counter retinol products. Retinol is just one of a type of compound called retinoids, which come in many forms.
Tretinoin
Tretinoin is a prescription topical retinoid. In its mildest formulations, it’s used for its anti-aging properties. Stronger formulations are used for acne.
Adapalene
Adapalene is another prescription retinoid that is commonly used to treat acne. It is known for its anti-inflammatory effect and low absorption rate through human skin. Adapalene is less potent than tretinoin, but tends to cause less skin irritation.
Retinol
Retinol is a milder form of retinoid and needs retinaldehyde to convert to retinoic acid for it to work. It is advised for anti-aging and does not benefit active acne. It is commonly found in over-the-counter products.
Plant-based retinol alternatives
Organic Harungana extract is a plant-derived alternative to retinol. According to Clarins Research, Organic Harungana has the same mechanisms as retinol, and is just as effective for anti-aging and pro-collagen synthesis properties. This exclusive Clarins natural active ingredient was selected from several candidates not only for its ‘retinol-like’ effect, but also for its tolerance on the skin and its non-photosensitivity. Organic Harungana is a good alternative to retinol for people with sensitive skin.

When should you apply retinol?
So, how should retinol be applied? When first adding this powerful ingredient into your routine, approach with caution.
Due to their potency, retinol products can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Therefore, it is recommended to always apply retinol at night. Use on dry skin and combine with a good moisturizer to hydrate the skin while reducing the risk of irritation.
