Products with vitamin A

What is vitamin A in skincare?

Vitamin A is a classic in care for mature skin, and retinol, its best-known form, is one of the most extensively studied ingredients in skincare. With regular use, vitamin A can make fine lines and dark spots less visible and make skin more even and smooth. In skincare, vitamin A comes in several forms, such as retinol and the newer HPR Retinoid, and the whole family is called retinoids.

How to get started with vitamin A

Many people use vitamin A in the evening on clean, dry skin, but follow the instructions on the product. Start a couple of times a week and choose a low strength or a gentle form if you are new to it or have sensitive skin. Build up use once your skin has adjusted, use sunscreen during the day and use one vitamin A product at a time. If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or breastfeeding, wait before using vitamin A. Your evening routine can also become a few quiet minutes for yourself.
