Vitamin A is an essential nutrient that supports skin, eye, and reproductive health. It is found in animal products like meat, poultry, and dairy.
Let’s explore further in detail till the end.
Your skin is retinoid-responsive, which means it can readily absorb when you apply it topically.
Benefits of using Vit A:
- Improves wrinkles and sagging:
It works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.
Retinoids like retinol can also improve skin elasticity and sagging by helping remove damaged elastin fibers and promoting angiogenesis, or the formation of new blood vessels.
- Reducing hyperpigmentation and other sun damage:
A diet high in carotenoids can help prevent cell damage, skin aging, and skin diseases. Carotenoids also protect your skin from environmental factors like pollution and UV radiation, which can also affect skin health and appearance.
Retinoids promote skin cell turnover. So, they can help improve hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sunspots, plus lead to a more even skin tone overall.
- Anti-acne:
Retinoids can help exfoliate skin on the surface, removing dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from pores to prevent pimples.
They also penetrate the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which can help reduce the appearance of pores and acne scarring.
- Helping treat psoriasis and other skin conditions:
Both topical and oral prescription medications used to treat psoriasis contain vitamin A. Topical retinoid reduces the formation of raised skin patches and the formation of cytokines and interleukins that cause inflammation. A healthcare professional might also prescribe oral acitretin, another retinoid, to treat severe, refractory psoriasis.
Retinol or Vitamin A proved to be a revolution in the world of dermatology and aesthetics. All you have to do is to consult your doctor before starting oral medicine every time.
Healthy skin is essential for a healthy life.
