RetinA Will Make Skin Look Younger

While we generally shy away from prescription products and stay with natural remedies, there are occassions that we will point out the benefits of pharmaceuticals for skin care. RetinA is the subject of this article. Retin-A can rectify and may even prevent, the effects of chronic sun exposure on your skin- roughness, loss of elasticity coarseness, brown spots, sallowness, precancerous lesions, black-heads around the eyes, etc.
Retin-A cannot, however, prevent the effects of the normal aging process, which are usually less severe than those caused by the sun and include roughness, laxity and benign tumors. However it can improve skin color by increasing blood flow. It can also correct sun-induced DNA damage by regulating abnormal cell reproduction. Also: Retin-A could lessen risk of skin cancer, but this hasn't been proven yet. Preliminary evidence shows that it reduces actinic keratoses-precancerous lesions.

Eliminate blotchiness and sun spots by improving the~ distribution of melanosomes (pigment granules) in the skin.Photoaging, which decreases blood flow, causes skin to become yellowish. As Retin-A increases blood flow, the complexion turns rosy again. In addition it can restore elasticity by boosting collagen production, which is usually retarded by photoaging.

Another benefit is that it will thicken the epidermis by increasing cell turnover, which is also slowed by photoaging, and by stimulating the growth of the tiny blood vessels in the skin. Retin-A will produce smoother, non-scaly skin by accelerating the shedding of the outer layer of dead cells. Also. The skin cells underneath, which then push their way to the surface, are more normal and look better than photoaged cells. The results are smooth, more even skin color and texture.
