Retinol 1% Creme

Vitamin A (Retinol) is an essential nutrient that’s responsible for promoting and maintaining healthy, youthful skin. Daily exposure to UV rays and environmental damage depletes Vitamin A in our skin – resulting in unhealthy, prematurely aged skin. Vitamin A derivatives are often hailed as the gold standard for anti-ageing and overall skin health. However, they are not all created equal. Among the various forms available, Retinyl Palmitate stands out for its unique benefits and suitability for various skin types and concerns and can be a game changer in your skincare routine.

Understanding Retinyl Palmitate

Retinyl Palmitate is composed of retinol (pure Vitamin A) and palmitic acid (a fatty acid). It’s known for its stability and gentleness on the skin compared to other retinoids. When applied topically, Retinyl Palmitate converts into retinoic acid, the active form that directly influences skin cell behaviour. Daily use accelerates skin metabolism, promotes cell proliferation, and stimulates collagen production, resulting in a healthier, more youthful complexion. Unlike other retinoids, Retinyl Palmitate is suitable for daily use, does not make the skin photo-sensitive and is suitable for all skin types without causing any downtime or irritation.
