How should I read retinol and retinoids on a label?
Retinol belongs to the retinoid family, which also includes prescription treatments. These are not automatic extras in our cosmetic routine builder.
Ask before you add it
Retinoids should not be used during pregnancy, according to AAD guidance. If this category interests you, get appropriate professional advice, particularly when you have treatment or tolerance questions. This service does not tell you to change prescribed medication.
Try this
- Distinguish a cosmetic name from a prescription treatment.
- Do not add the category just to make a routine “full.”
- Discuss pregnancy or treatment questions with a qualified clinician.
