Simply a "Must
Have" as part of your skin rejuvenation routine!
 Retinol products include
the "Vitamin A's": Retinol, Tretinoin, and Retinyl Palmitate which are
forms or derivatives of Vitamin A that are 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 significant
effective results for treating aging skin care issues.
Vitamin A is one of the few anti-aging ingredients that is effective.
Results
from retinol or the vitamin A derivatives include:
- 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

Retinol is also an exfoliant that is often
prescribed as an effective acne
treatment.
Be Warned. . .
Retinol is the strongest of
the Vitamin A's and can potentially be very irritating to the skin.
Preliminary research indicates that Retinyl
Palmitate, another Vitamin A derivative, has demonstrated
promising results that indicate similar rejuvenation effects to that of
tretinoin.
Retinyl Palmitate is generally non-irritating
and is considered a milder and viable alternative to tretinoin.
