Retinoids have some incredible benefits when it comes to slowing aging in the skin. Through recent scientific advancements, researchers have uncovered a stable precursor to retinoic acid, the form of vitamin A used by the human body. Through the process of encapsulation, the delivery of this ingredient enhances the overall performance. Let’s discover all that retinal has to offer and explore the two formulas in Pro Youth -10 that contain this ingredient. Encapsulated Retinal Turn Back Time
In addition, ChronoPeptide A contains Niacinamide to encourage hydration and collagen synthesis, while brightening complexions. Cloud Berry is another key ingredient, rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Stem Cell A was formulated with the purpose of repairing cellular damage in pro-youth skin through the use of stem cells and vitamin A. Globularia Cordifolia stem cells improves skin quality and tissue rejuvenation by decreasing micro-inflammations and increasing the cell lifespan. Lilac Leaf stem cells reduce inflammation, boost UV protection and in a clinical study, this ingredient also demonstrated its ability to act as both a tyrosinase and collagenase inhibitor. Stem Cell A contains several other key ingredients including a specialized peptide, Telangyn, which reduces inflammation and the appearance of telangiectasia. Canadian Willow Bark helps reduce inflammation and Mirabilis Jalapa boosts the development of ceramides and hyaluronic acid in the epidermis. With two formulas how does one choose which is best for their skin? Stem Cell A is a must-have formula for any pro-youth skin that experiences some sensitivities or has significant depletion and damage due to environmental factors. ChronoPeptide A is best suited for those with normal, aging, photo-aged skin with little to no sensitivities. The beauty of these formulas if you have normal skin, you can alternate between the two! Discover what could be missing from your pro- youth regimen!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Encapsulated retinal performs closest to retinoic acid in topical formulations where it provides powerful wrinkle reduction and prevention. Retinal is also shown to bring UVA damaged skin back to health as it works to stimulate cellular cohesion. In a study, retinal exhibited many of the same properties as tretinoin, the prescription form of vitamin A, in its effects on photo- aging and reversing collagen alterations. Participants in this study saw up to a 52% decrease in wrinkles.
FORMULATIONS WITH RETINAL
WHAT IS IT?
Pro Youth -10 offers two formulas using encapsulated retinal and while they both use the same star ingredient, they each bring many different benefits to slowing aging and maintaining a youthful complexion. ChronoPeptide A features a peptide that activates the circadian genes, prompting our bodies and cells to prepare for certain conditions and times of day. In our skin, these genes trigger our cutaneous cells to strengthen their defenses against UV rays and other free radicals and regenerate at night.
Vitamin A is one of the most popular and well- researched ingredients in skin care. In product formulation, vitamin A used properly increases fibroblast activity which increases collagen, elastin production and cellular turnover. Retinal is similar to retinol in the sense that it converts into retinoic acid the form our body recognizes and utilizes. Retinal is one less conversion leading to a quicker response on the skin and less potential irritation.
