Retinol (Vitamin A)
Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Phospholipids, Retinol
Retinol, otherwise known as Vitamin A, is an established anti-aging active supported by over 40 years’ worth of research.
It can help to reduce the effects of photo-aging and extrinsic stress on the skin.
Retinol works by increasing cellular turnover, inducing epidermal thickening. These actions result in a minimized appearance of wrinkles, a bolstered skin thickness and the slowing of collagen degradation giving firmer more elastic skin.
In addition retinol can help to lighten hyperpigmentation, or brown spots caused by sun exposure, to even the complexion and improve translucency.
In personal care retinol is often chosen over other retinoid forms, as it exhibits only minimal signs of erythema proving to be an optimal choice when comparing efficacy vs skin irritation.
It is well known that retinol in all forms readily deteriorates when exposed to light and air, so sun exposure is avoided after its use.
The retinol Myrro Skincare uses is encapsulated in liposomes, an advanced technology that helps to improve not only delivery of the retinol, but its stability as well, making it non photo-sensitive.
To sum up, retinol:
- Increases enzyme activity and normalize cell division.
- Rejuvenates and nourishes the skin.
- Stimulates cell renewal.
- Can improve appearance of aged, dry, damaged and blemished skin.
- Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves general appearance and texture of the skin.
- Reduces flaking, improves collagen production.
- Helps to boost the natural elasticity of the skin.
