Retinol, a highly active form of vitamin A, penetrates deeply into the epidermis to help counteract the physiological processes that lead to wrinkled, photo-aged skin, resulting in a decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stimulation of collagen production, thickening of the epidermis, and improvement in skin elasticity. Retinol also helps eliminate acne, refine skin texture, fade acne scarring, and prevent future breakouts.
