Retinol
Retinol (also called Vitamin A) is a molecule that is found in the natural vegetal world. Lipophilic, it is stored in the liver and in the skin. Retinol is one of the gold standard molecules used by dermatologists to correct the signs of ageing, including superficial and deep wrinkles, inhomogeneous complexion and pigmentation disorders. Highly effective, sometimes less well tolerated by sensitive skin, it works by accelerating epidermal cell renewal and by reinforcing skin structure network. At L'Oreal Paris, it is used in the form of Pro-retinol, a molecule that is suitable for all skin types even sensitive, and that the skin is able to bioconvert into Retinol.
