Why Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a great ingredient for the skin. It has been recognized in anti-aging skincare for decades. However, research shows that not all forms of vitamin A are created equal.

Why vitamin A?
Vitamin A is a key player in anti-age prevention. The benefits of vitamin A include collagen and elastin production, stimulating cell turnover and reducing hyperpigmentation, to name just a few! The class of vitamin A-derived ingredients are called retinoids, and when using a vitamin A serum, it’s important to choose the correct form of retinoid.

Not all vitamin A is created equal!
Research supports that retinaldehyde (also called retinal) is the most effective form of vitamin A. This form of vitamin A is clinically proven to help reduce several signs of ageing without causing skin irritation. Retinaldehyde is scientifically proven to support long-term collagen production, while other forms of retinoids impair normal skin function and can result in DNA damage.

The benefit of retinaldehyde
Osmosis Beauty uses a stabilized form of retinaldehyde in our vitamin A serum to support collagen and elastin production, replenish skin, normalize oil production and activate overall youthful skin. The use of a stabilized form of retinaldehyde means our vitamin A serums will not cause irritation or sun sensitivity. These serums also have a specialized delivery system that ensures retinaldehyde penetrates deeper into the skin.
