Having Similar Benefits, Recognize the Differences Between Retinol and Peptides

Dream - When using a serum, Sahabat Dream may remember various potent active ingredients that are suitable for your skin. Starting from hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, niacinamide, to retinol.

From various active ingredients available on the market, retinol is most frequently mentioned. Its benefit in preventing aging has become the mainstay of many people. Moreover, now retinol is sold in various formulas and concentrations, so it can be adjusted for various skin types.

Although so, there are still many people who are not suitable for using retinol. The common side effects experienced after using it are acne-prone skin, feeling hot, stinging, and redness. In addition, retinol may not necessarily be safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, retinol is able to exfoliate the skin, stimulate the production of new skin cells, prevent premature aging, and help overcome acne.

As an alternative, Dream Friends can use peptides, which have a lighter formula compared to retinol. Peptides themselves are a series of amino acids that can be obtained from plants (vegan peptides) and have various benefits.

"Benefits of Peptides"

A literal translation of the text would be: "A little different from retinol, peptides are able to maintain skin moisture, hydrate, maintain skin elasticity, stimulate collagen production, prevent the appearance of aging signs, help overcome acne, and alleviate inflammation. That is why peptides are considered lighter compared to retinol, which can make the skin dry and sensitive for some people."

"The way retinol works is more towards exfoliating. It will peel the skin. The effects can be a warm sensation, sensitivity, and redness. The results also take longer, around 6 months before they can be seen. Peptides work more specifically towards their reactions, specifically towards collagen and can be layered with other skincare, even with retinol."

"Differences in Usage"

Abelina does not recommend using retinol together with vitamin C, AHA, BHA, and various groups of acids or other derivatives of vitamin C.

Mixing retinol with vitamin C or its derivatives and various types of acids can trigger skin irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive. Retinol also makes the skin photosensitive. That's why retinol is only recommended to be used at night. When waking up in the morning, Sahabat Dream must use sunscreen every 3-4 hours to prevent irritation due to UV exposure on the skin that has been applied with retinol the night before.

Different from retinol, peptides do not make the skin photosensitive, so this content can be used at any time.

You can also use peptides together with various active ingredients, ranging from vitamin C, niacinamide, AHA, BHA, and various types of acids without worrying about the side effects. The results of using peptides may appear faster compared to retinol, which takes 6 months. So, Dream friends, do you prefer to use retinol or peptides?
