I have one of my creams that is anti aging yet gentle with a newer form of retinol.

Hydroxypinacolone retinoate: stable, mild form

Hydroxypinacolone retinoate is one of the newest forms of vitamin A. It differs from the earlier talked about ingredients by its ability to attach itself directly to the receptor, and therefore, just as tretinoin, is able to carry out its work immediately. But its molecular structure makes this substance more stable and less irritating.

Until now, little research has been carried out into hydroxypinacolone retinoate. You can find out much more about the efficacy of the substance by looking at medical articles into the efficacy of picolinic acid – substituted esters of 9-cis retinoic acid (which is hydroxypinacolone retinoate).

In similar studies it appears that this ester speeds up wound healing and stimulates collagen build up, prevents the breaking down of elastin and collagen and reduces the forming of MMPs, and all without the irritation.

Despite the fact that hydroxypinacolone retinoate appears to be much more stable than the other forms of vitamin A, oxidation is still a problem.

Retinol. We’ve all heard of it and probably used it in creams and serums.
