How does retinol in a body lotion work?

Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that supports skin renewal over time. In a lotion it is applied daily to the body, so results build gradually rather than overnight.

Can I use it on my face?

It is sold as a hand and body lotion. Retinol face products are usually formulated separately, so keep this one to hands and body unless a dermatologist says otherwise.

Will it make my skin sun-sensitive?

Retinol can increase sun sensitivity for some people. Use sunscreen on exposed skin and start with once-daily use to see how your skin responds.

How soon will I see smoother skin?

Olay claims visibly smoother skin in 7 days. Individual results vary, and retinol benefits usually continue improving with weeks of regular use.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

It is made for all skin types, but retinol can sting or flake on sensitive skin. Patch test first and alternate days if you react.

Does it leave a greasy residue?

Olay describes it as fast-absorbing with no greasy residue and a light fresh scent. Apply a thin layer and let it sink in before dressing.
