If Retinol is the purest form of Vitamin A, can it just be purchased in a health food store?
No. Pure Vitamin A is simply not available at health food stores. If Vitamin A in its purest form were applied to the skin, it would be so irritating that no one could tolerate it. Vitamin A is also very unstable upon contact with air, which is why recent research suggests that other Vitamin A products may be less than effective. Without the unique stabilizing properties of the Microsponge system, Vitamin A would be inert before it even reaches the skin.
