![]() The strength of a Retinoiddepends on how easy it is for the skin to change it into Retinoic Acid. ![]() Retinoic Acid or Tretinoin is the strongest retinoid and is only present in prescription-only cream. I don’t want to get too technical but here’s some info about what to look for on the product label. What is the difference between Retinol and a Retinoid If you’re into reading scientific evidence, this review is excellent and gives a lot of information. Retinoids can also help with acne, eczema and psoriasis. One study reported the patients using Retinoids had a rosy glow about them, as well as having smoother skin and fewer wrinkles. The positive effects start being visible within a few days and increase over time. Studies has shown that Retinoids actually reverse the effects of sun damage and natural aging over time. The skin thickens (which is a good thing) and more Elastin and Collagen is formed. The enzymes that break down collagen are blocked. ![]() Retinoic Acids trigger changes in the skin cells that result in an increase in cell turnover.

These technologies cannot be compared directly with retinol itself in terms of concentration because they include a different retinoid molecule, in a similar way that Retinol cannot be compared with Retinoic Acid in terms of concentration. Note: This product uses next-generation retinoid active technologies which have been shown to achieve better reduction in signs of ageing than retinol without irritation. Both forms of retinoid used avoid the irritation associated with retinoid (including retinol) use while delivering better visible results against signs of ageing. a sustained-delivery form of pure retinol in a protective capsule system which supports both the delivery and the effect of Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate.
