Types of cosmetics with retinol

Retinol is a form of vitamin A. Its main feature is high bioavailability. Small molecules of the substance are able to penetrate the epidermis and act on the deeper layers of the skin. Due to this property, cosmetics based on retinoids are in demand in dermatology.

Retinoids have a complex effect on the dermis:

• activate the synthesis of collagen;
• repair the epithelium;
• accelerate the regeneration of damaged skin, including after acne.

At the same time, retinol is unstable when released into the external environment. Vitamin A breaks down under the influence of oxygen and sunlight. Therefore, retinoids, that is, retinol derivatives, are more often used in cosmetic care products.

There are about 2500 retinoids in total. The most effective is retinoic acid, which affects skin cells. It connects to RAR receptors and starts several processes at once:

• changes melanogenesis, which causes lightening of the skin of the face and body;
• activates the production of sebocytes that eliminate acne;
• starts the synthesis of collagen, elastin and some polysaccharides, which stimulates regeneration.

Different retinoids can be transformed into retinoic acid with different speeds and efficiency, overcoming skin barriers.

This is why various retinol-based cosmetics can be offered at markedly different prices. Some of them are inexpensive, the cost of others may seem overpriced at first glance.

The price largely depends on what kind of retinol derivative and in what concentration is contained in the cosmetic product.

Features of using cosmetics with retinol

The process of converting retinoids into acid takes place in several stages:

1. Retinol esters — retinyl palmitate, as well as retinyl acetate, retinol acetate and optionally vitamin A acetate.
2. Retinol.
3. Retinaldehyde or retinal.
4. Retinoic acid (Retin-A, retinoic acid, tretinoin).

Thus, long-chain cosmetics, that is, those containing retinol esters, will be the softest and most long-lasting in their effect. It will be inexpensive - you can buy and use primarily as an antioxidant. These products cannot significantly activate collagen synthesis and significantly affect skin pigmentation. The exception (both in terms of cost and effectiveness) are drugs with retinyl retinoate (R-retinyl-retinoate), which break down into retinol and retinoic acid immediately after contact with the skin.

Retinol-based products with good penetrating power are sold at a higher price. At the same time, the composition of the funds should contain stabilizers, or retinol in liposomes can be used, its cost and effectiveness will be higher.

Cosmetics based on retinaldehyde or retinal is ten times more powerful than versions with retinol. And the fastest and most powerful drugs are products with retinaldehyde (retinaldehyde) or retinal (retinal, as well as retinoic acids, which are more intended for professional use.

The indicated retinoids are natural. In cosmetology, synthetic analogues can also be used, the main difference of which is UV resistance.
