Although retinol is an exfoliating, collagen-stimulating, and anti-aging skin care ingredient, it’s also important to note that it’s photosensitizing \u2013 meaning it makes the skin more sensitive to the sun, so problems like hyperpigmentation<\/a> and wrinkles can become worse in the summertime.<\/p>\n

In other words, if you love to sunbathe, you should definitely consider using a retinol alternative. Dermatologist Lily Talakoub of Mclean Skin & Dermatology Center<\/a>\u00a0notes, \u201c[Retinol alternatives] are better-tolerated, less irritating, can be used in the summer months, and [are] much easier to get because they are over-the-counter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luckily, there are many skin-friendly retinol alternatives to consider, like epidermal growth factor (EGF), vitamin A-rich oils (such as rosehip and bakuchiol<\/a>), and AHAs and BHAs, which are just as effective. Here are ten skin care alternatives to retinol to try this summer.<\/p>\n
