Retinol Skin Care
Vitamin A: Tretinoin, Retinol, Retinyl Palmitate

Simply a "Must Have" as part of any skin rejuvenation routine!

Retinol products include the "Vitamin A's": Retinol, Tretinoin, and Retinyl Palmitate are forms or derivatives of Vitamin A considered highly effective in the treatment of aging skin.

Tretinoin, (Retinoic acid- Retin A / Renova) is a form of Vitamin A that is clinically proven to have significantly effective results in the treatment of a range of aging skin care issues.

Vitamin A is one of the few anti-aging ingredients that has been clinically proven as highly effective for decades!

• Reduction of both wrinkles and fine lines
• Increases collagen production
• Smooths skin texture
• Increases skin thickness
• Improves elasticity
• Diminishes acne
• Improves overall skin tone
• Diminishes mottled pigmentation
• Increases skin hydration
• Stimulates skin repair
• Decreases enlarged pores

Retinol is also an exfoliant that is often prescribed as an effective acne treatment.

Tretinoin is the strongest of the Vitamin A's and can potentially be very irritating to the skin.

Retinol, another form of vitamin A, has also been clinically proven to have similar yet less significant effects as tretinoin due to less efficient absorption into the skin.

Effective treatments require a concentration of .3% to .6%.
As with tretinoin, this form of Vitamin A can cause skin irritation so follow application directions carefully.

Retinyl Palmitate is generally non-irritating and is considered a milder and viable alternative to tretinoin.
