Vitamin A (Retinoids / Pro‑Vitamin A Sources)

Vitamin A is a powerhouse ingredient in anti‑ageing skincare—especially around the delicate eye area. Here’s why it’s a star:

What It Is

Vitamin A refers to a family of compounds including retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and provitamin A carotenoids (from plant sources). In skincare, retinol and its derivatives are widely used for their skin‑renewing effects.

Top Benefits for Eye Area

• Boosts collagen & reduces fine lines: Topical vitamin A derivatives help stimulate collagen production, which smooths wrinkles and improves firmness.

• Enhances cell turnover: It accelerates the shedding of older surface skin cells and encourages fresh cell growth beneath, refining skin texture and tone.

• Fades pigmentation / dark spots: Vitamin A can help even out skin tone by reducing uneven pigmentation and sunspots.

• Improves skin barrier & resume health: It supports skin integrity and resilience, helping the eye area better resist environmental stress.

  
  

  Tips for Use Around the Eyes

• Use mild, lower‑concentration vitamin A derivatives in the eye area to avoid irritation.

• Always pair it with hydrating and soothing ingredients (like hyaluronic acid) to counter potential dryness or sensitivity.

• Use sunscreen daily—vitamin A makes skin more sensitive to UV exposure.

• Introduce it gradually (e.g. 2–3 times per week) and monitor how your skin responds.
