retinol and retinylpalmitaat (vitamine A)
Retinyl is the ester of retinol (vitamin A) and it is combined with palmitic acid, which is a saturated fatty acid that is found in humans, animals and plants and is (as the name implies) a major component of palm oil. Although it isn’t, strictly speaking, retinol, retinyl palmitate is easily absorbed by the skin and once it is there is converted into retinol.
It is gentler than applying retinol directly and, therefore, a better option for those of sensitive skin. Retinyl palmitate shares the rejuvenating effects of the other vitamin A's by:
- stimulating skin repair
- increasing collagen production
- increasing skin thickness
- improving elasticity
- improving skin texture
- improving skin tone
- reducing the occurrences of blemishes
- decreasing enlarged pores
As an added bonus, retinyl palmitate also diminishes acne outbreaks, sharing the characteristics of both tretinoin and retinol as an effective acne fighter.
