Stories from Nature
Vitamin A, or retinol, is produced synthetically, but it occurs naturally in various forms in plants, animal fats, fish liver oil, and beta-carotene. It is a natural form of vitamin A capable of reducing the appearance of wrinkles and increasing the skin’s thickness and elasticity.
Benefits
In cosmetics, Vitamin A is used to maintain skin structure: it helps regulate sebum production in oily skin, soothes red and irritated skin, and firms mature skin. It is one of the natural substances that help protect against free radicals.
It improves the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing flakiness and restoring elasticity. It helps remove dead skin cells thanks to its gentle exfoliating action, while stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, treat acne-prone skin, and fade skin discolorations.
