What is Retinol?
Retinol is a form of Vitamin A. Retinol is the form of vitamin A most easily absorbed by the body. Retinol is fat soluble and is widely found in nature. Beta carotene is a more well-known form of vitamin A, which is found in fruit and vegetable sources. Other forms of vitamin A are retinyl palmitate and retinal.
Retinol is converted into retinoic acid which activates the metabolism of the skin cells.
What does it do?
Retinol functions as an antioxidant, which means that it helps to counteract the damage caused by free radicals.
Retinol helps to speed up the metabolism of the skin cells. When delivered into the cells of the skin, each individual cell begins converting retinol into retinoic acid. Retinoic acid stimulates the skin cells, leading to faster regeneration and even to rejuvenation of the skin. Retinol has been observed to reduce the size of wrinkles.
Is Retinol effective for reducing wrinkles?
Yes. Retinol are among the most trusted and effective anti aging skin care product ingredients we know of. It is not as powerful as Retin-A, but retinol is less irritating and has the same anti wrinkle effects.
