Key Ingredients Retinol (5.0%): Derived from vitamin A, retinol is an antioxidant vitamin that is part of the chemical family of retinoids used for the treatment of acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. Because it is fat-soluble, it is able to absorb into fatty layers of skin to promote greater cell renewal and increases collagen and elastin production. Vitamin A protects the skin and Langerhans cells as well as controls the activation of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), which destroy collagen and elastin. vitamin A thus functions via several pathways to guard against normal and sun induced aging. Vitamin A protects the skin from sun induced aging and stimulates skin cell renewal by increasing the rate of mitotic cell division. Additionally, retinol functions as a natural humectant, attracting moisture and increasing the water content of the epidermis. Vitamin A is also essential in the role of not only clearing acne, but to speed the healing and recovery of the skin decreasing acne scarring
