Consistency is crucial when using retinoids for anti-aging benefits, as building collagen and seeing visible changes takes time.
Retinoids, derivatives of Vitamin A, are well-documented for their ability to stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell turnover. This makes your skin look younger. However, these changes are not instantaneous.
Studies show that it typically takes at least 12 weeks of consistent use to begin seeing noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone. Full benefits, such as reduced fine lines and wrinkles, can take six months to a year of regular application.
Patience and adherence to a regular skincare routine are essential. Applying retinoids consistently helps maintain the steady cellular turnover and collagen production necessary for long-term skin health. Clinical research supports the importance of this regimen, emphasizing that continuous retinoid use results in significant anti-aging effects, such as improved skin elasticity and reduced signs of photoaging.1
VETTED Dermlab uses "hydroxypinacolone" which allows for anti-aging benefits without the irritation of traditional retinoids.
This is how it works:
-
Unlike tretinoin, HPR does not require metabolic conversion to retinoic acid. This direct binding minimizes the irritation often associated with the conversion process seen in other retinoids like retinol, which must be converted through a two-step oxidation process (retinol → retinaldehyde → retinoic acid). 2
- HPR is a milder retinoid, meaning it can produce desired anti-aging effects with less potency, leading to reduced irritation and inflammation. This characteristic makes it suitable for those with sensitive skin.
