Topical retinol increases the rate of skin cell turnover in the epidermis.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that topical retinol increases the rate of skin cell turnover in the epidermis?

Yes. A Cleveland Clinic page states directly that topical retinol increases skin cell turnover, and several peer-reviewed studies report retinol stimulating keratinocyte proliferation and increasing epidermal thickness in human skin, which supports the claim though most measure proliferation or thickness rather than turnover rate itself.
