The almighty Vitamin A (aka Retinol)!
Vitamin A/Retinol is one of my all-time favorite ingredients in skincare products. Not only is it scientifically proven to rebuild collagen over time (resulting in fewer fine lines and wrinkles) but it improves hyperpigmentation and fights off acne and blemishes.
So what is Retinol?
Retinol is a form of Vitamin A that naturally occurs in the skin. Vitamin A thickens and stimulates the dermis – where your collagen, elastin and blood vessels are – so it reduces wrinkles and increases blood flow to the surface of the skin. Vitamin A actually increases the deposition of collagen; therefore, it slows the normal aging breakdown of your collagen and elastin.
How do I use it?
Retinol products are best used at night, usually 2-3 nights per week depending on the product. Studies show that Vitamin A applied topically can increase the skin’s photosensitivity to the sun so make sure to apply an SPF every morning! The natural, mineral based Solar Block is a great choice.
What products have Vitamin A?
Rejuven A - Rejuven-A is an anti-aging treatment formulated with Retinol, CoQ10, collagen stimulating peptides and Vitamins C and E. Rejuven-A enhances cell growth, improves skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This light, gentle formula contains Retinol, a mild, yet effective form of Vitamin A that is kinder to all skin types than Retin-A which can cause irritation. Safe for even sensitive skin, Rejuven-A hydrates and helps reverse damage caused by sun exposure and the passage of time.
