How does Vitamin A work?
The Vitamin A skin conditioners work on the epidermis as well as the dermis, the deeper level of the skin that most skin products can not reach. In the epidermis, Vitamin A skin conditioners speed up the turnover of cells. Faster epidermal cell turnover means softer, smoother, fresher looking skin. The epidermis becomes more effective as a barrier to prevent harmful substances from entering, and to help it retain needed moisture. Vitamin A skin conditioners exert their profound magic in the dermis, where it effects the regulation of gene transcription that codes the rate of cell division and turnover, cell differentiation, and formation of new collagen and elastin. New collagen formation increases skin firmness while elastin formation increases elasticity.
