"For the Olay Retinol24 formulas, we have created unique oil-in-water emulsions in which the retinol is encapsulated inside micro-droplets of an oil blend, which are surrounded by the water-based phase.
Think retinol is good for your skin? Encapsulated retinol is even better at reversing the signs of ageing. “Encapsulated retinol is more stable and efficacious, having the ease of travelling and targeting the skin cells where it is most beneficial,” explains Hobson.
Lastly, you'll notice that all three Olay Retinol 24 products contain high concentrations of silicones, such as dimethicone and dimethicone crosspolymer. The main function of silicones in skincare is to improve a product's spreadability while imparting a silky, smooth skin feel.
ENCAPSULATED RETINOL (0.5%) AND RETINOIC ACID (0.05%) ARE EQUALLY EFFECTIVE AT PROTECTING AGAINST UV-INDUCED DAMAGE IN EPIDERM-FT TISSUES.
Super Retinol anti-aging hand treatment – Includes 1% encapsulated Retinol and 0.03% pure Retinol. Use as needed, but not more than two or three times a day.
Because they're super exfoliators, they can make skin look and feel red, tender, and sensitive even after using only once or twice. In my experience, they can also cause some light peeling (think eraser-sized bits) and “purging”—AKA breakouts caused by this increase in cell turnover.
SkinSAFE has reviewed the ingredients of Olay Retinol 24 Night Serum, 40 mL (1.3 fl oz) and found it to be 91% Top Allergen Free and free of Fragrance, Gluten, Coconut, Nickel, Lanolin, Paraben, Topical Antibiotic, MCI/MI, Soy, Propylene Glycol, Balsam of Peru, Oil, and Dye.
Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum has a silicone base. Think of silicones as an Instagram filter. They blur out every imperfections, smooth out large pores, and fill in fine lines and wrinkles so they look smaller.
Both creams contain niacinamide (vitamin B3), amino peptide, and glycerin. The main difference between the two products is that Retinol 24 contains RETINOL and Micro-Sculpting Cream does not.
Contains 0.2 percent HPR, plus an encapsulated retinol. They don't disclose the concentration of retinol, but this would mean it is slightly stronger than the Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane.
The second form of retinol active in Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion is a sustained-delivery form of pure retinol. The retinol is encapsulated to improve delivery and performance.
With retinol (or any repairing ingredient for that matter), consistent application is key. It can take around 1-3 months to see visible changes for signs of aging and overall skin clarity, but everyone's skin is different. For better results, make sure you apply ample sunscreen in the AM.
Encapsulated beauty just refers to the practice of coating ingredients with a protective layer and, often, are also known as ampoules (not to be confused with the K-beauty serums by the same name). Some of the time, these are large, actual plastic coverings.

Retinol - Retinol helps boost collagen production and aid in cell turnover. This results in more even, smoother skin and helps reduce the appearance of sunspots, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Generally speaking, dermatologists say purging should be over within four to six weeks of starting a new skin care regimen. If your purge lasts longer than six weeks, consult your dermatologist. It could be that you need to adjust the dosage and/or frequency of application.
If your skin is peeling or getting flaky when using retinol, the best advice is to be patient and wait it out. We say this with all the love, but sometimes things get worse before they get better. The peeling will eventually go away over time when your skin gets used to retinol.
