Which is better, bifid yeast or retinol?

Retinol and bifid yeast are both very popular ingredients in skin care products. Retinol has many benefits on the skin, such as fading spots, removing acne, and removing wrinkles, while bifid yeast can effectively protect the skin and help prevent photoaging of the epidermis and dermis. So, let’s mainly introduce these two ingredients below!

Which is better, bifid yeast or retinol?

The fermented liquid of Bifid yeast can maintain the stability of the skin, promote DNA repair, and protect the skin from damage by ultraviolet rays. It can be used in daily care and after-sun care products. It is also a favorite skin care ingredient of many big-name skin care products. Retinol, also known as A alcohol, is the original form of vitamin A; the other is carotene, which is converted into a preform of vitamin A in the body and is extracted from plant and animal foods. Relatively speaking, the effect of bifid yeast is slightly stronger than retinol.

Benefits of Retinol

Retinoids are thought to have the potential to help maintain the skin's more youthful appearance. Research shows that retinol and other vitamin A acids may help increase collagen production in the skin. Collagen is the ingredient that plumps up your skin. As we age, collagen decreases and wrinkles appear. Therefore, increasing collagen production may help fine lines and wrinkles become less noticeable.
