A brief YouTube Short by Shereene Idriss answering whether you need to wash off retinol in the morning. The speaker says retinol is absorbed within about 20 minutes overnight, so by morning it has already been absorbed; rinsing with water is typically sufficient and using a cleanser to "wash off" retinol is unnecessary—especially for dry skin.
