HI!
Vitamin A is often called the vitamin of youth. It has a broad use in cosmetics and care of every skin type. Its derivatives are also often used in many aesthetic medicine treatments or home remedies. Will it work in your case as well?
How does vitamin A influence the skin?
Vitamin A and its derivatives activate skin cells to produce collagen. Thanks to this substance, the skin retains a youthful appearance, improves its elasticity and tension, while wrinkles and discolourations become less visible. Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, smoothes the skin, evens out its tone and improves exfoliation of dead skin cells and promotes the growth of the new ones.
Who can use cosmetics with vitamin A?
It is widely believed that vitamin A or its derivatives can be used only in the care of mature skin with wrinkles and discolourations. Meanwhile, vitamin A can be used in the care of oily and acne skin as well. It provides the effect of balancing the secretion of sebum and regulating the action of sebaceous glands. It reduces oily skin, cleanses skin pores and brings relief to skin changes.
Vitamin A in cosmetics…
…appears in various forms and concentrations. Retinol does not cause any skin irritations and the cosmetics contain only a small amount of it. However, in dermocosmetics and specialized products, the volume is higher and usually infused with a moisturising substance (urea or hyaluronic acid). Vitamin A can be combined with other vitamins (E or C), panthenol or antioxidants. Cosmetics with vitamin A often contain UV filters. Currently, this substance is found in most cosmetics available on the market.
