Vitamin A is famous in the skincare world for its skin healing and regenerative properties. How do you know you’re using the best form of Vitamin A in your skincare routine?  Vitamin A derivatives are collectively known as retinoids. They include retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid, all of which can be absorbed by the skin to one degree or another. Once absorbed, retinol has to convert first to retinal and then into retinoic acid (the active form that causes changes). Retinal, though it may work more quickly (because it has one less step to convert to active retinoic acid) is not only unstable but can also be quite irritating when applied directly to the skin. Retinoic acid is also irritating when applied to the skin directly and may require a prescription. That’s why we think the best form of vitamin A for the skin is retinol—as long as it’s a stable form that’s protected from oxidation and gets to its target cells. Synergie Skin’s Acceler-A Serum delivers retinol to the lower epidermis of your skin in a magical way. It contains RetiGen™, a proprietary blend of HPR (a new, stable, and potent retinoid), CoQ10, and pure green tea, that’s more powerful and less irritating than traditional retinoid serums. Use it at night after cleansing and before moisturizing, after at least 3-6 months use of its ‘little sister retinoid’ Ultimate A. (We recommend using Ultimate A, containing lipid-encapsulated retinol, as the first step in vitamin A skincare.) See Acceler A serum here: https://bit.ly/32ft0uw
