We know retinol is the gold standard when it comes to all-things anti aging—but did you know its treatment power isn’t limited to just the face? From hand creams to body washes and creams, the all-star ingredient is becoming more and more popular in the body-care sector due to its track record of stimulating collagen and improving skin’s texture. Why not share the anti-aging love, right? Here, 18 below-the-face launches to know about now.
