Retinoids & Retinol Products

Retinoids are vitamin A–derived ingredients that are widely used in dermatology to improve skin texture, acne, pigmentation and fine lines. They work by increasing skin cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, helping the skin to function more efficiently and improving overall skin quality over time.

Retinoids are often recommended by dermatologists as part of a long-term skincare plan because they can be used to treat multiple skin concerns, including:

• Acne and breakouts
• Uneven pigmentation
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores

At the Institute of Dermatologists, we recommend retinoids that are effective but also well tolerated, as the key to success with a retinoid is using the right product and introducing it gradually.

Our retinoid collection includes products suitable for:

• Patients new to retinoids
• Sensitive skin
• Acne-prone skin
• Pigmentation concerns
• Signs of skin ageing

If you are unsure which retinoid is most suitable for your skin, we recommend booking a skincare consultation so that we can advise you on the most appropriate product and how to use it correctly.

We recommend using a moisturiser and daily SPF when using a retinoid.
