Retinol Information
One of the Most
Effective
Vitamin A Treatments for Rejuvenating Aging Skin
 Technical
information on retinol reveals that this vitamin A skin care
treatment is one of the most
effective active anti-aging ingredients to
successfully treat the symptoms of aging skin.
Retinol is processed by the body from beta carotene which is found in
carrots, apricots, broccoli, and other dark green, orange and yellow
produce. It is the most common form of vitamin A found in skin
rejuvenation products.
Because retinol is absorbed into the skin less
efficiently than tretinoin, it is important to ensure that the
concentration of retinol is sufficient enough to be effective
The properties of retinol, a form of vitamin A, work a bit differently
in anti-aging skin care products than tretinoin.
While tretinoin is a vitamin A acid, retinol converts to retonic acid
when absorbed by skin cells.
Retinol information confirms that concentrations
of at least .15% up to
the strongest that can be purchased over the counter of 1% are very
effective in treating aging skin care concerns.
As with the other vitamin A derivatives, retinol rejuvenates the skin
by:
- stimulating cell regeneration
- building collagen
- diminishing the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles
- minimizing age spots
- reducing pore size
- minimizing the occurrence of
blemishes
As a matter of fact, retinol has a long history as a very effective
method to treat acne.
If you experience
occasional outbreaks and are also
concerned about aging skin care issues, this is the active ingredient
that will effectively address both these concerns
in one treatment.
Any product with a vitamin A
ingredient will increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun so be sure
to use your sunscreen!
