UV Damage
Exposure to UV radiation from the sun accounts for *80% of facial aging* by directly degrading collagen in the skin.
Collagen is key
Not all retinoids are made the same
What’s the difference?
Retinoids are often used to describe both over-the-counter retinols and prescription strength retinoids.
Retinoids are a form of Vitamin A that are often used to improve skin by increasing collagen production. More collagen in your skin means smoother, wrinkle-free skin.
HIGH STRENGTH
Prescription Retinoids
Tretinoin
Prescription retinoids include the active ingredient Tretinoin, aka retinoic acid, which induces the production of collagen in the skin at the cellular level.
Science-based approach
Prescription retinoids include 50+ years of academic studies to support long-term safety and efficacy in reversing wrinkle formation.
FDA Approved
Prescription retinoids are the only FDA approved retinoid to treat photoaging.
LOW STRENGTH
Over-the-counter retinols
Retinol is a specific type of retinoid that is a milder form of Vitamin A. It is 20x less potent that prescription retinoids.
The body takes retinol and converts it into Tretinoin (aka retinoic acid), which is the active form that’s present in prescription-strength retinoids.
Given its lower strength, this product is gentler on the skin but also takes significantly longer to produce results
