Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, has long been revered as a cornerstone ingredient in skin care formulations for its remarkable ability to address various signs of ageing and improve overall skin health. Its efficacy in reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation has made it a popular choice among consumers seeking to reduce the effects of ageing and maintain youthful skin. In recent years, the market for retinol-based skin care products has witnessed significant growth, reflecting the widespread adoption of this potent ingredient.
According to market research data, the global retinol skin care market was valued at $22 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $36.4 million in 2031.1 These figures underscore the substantial demand for retinol-based formulations and its prominence in the skin care industry.
