Vitamin A: Food for The Skin

There's always a leader in the pack and when you're talking skincare; it's Vitamin A. 
​
This Super Vitamin was up and coming in the 80's where the cosmetic industry thought they had stumbled across the worlds best kept secret. 
Topically it was proven to slow down the ageing process, clear acne and improve skin texture. 
With this discovery came an evolution of Vitamin A based skin care. Its stabilisation and delivery system has been fine tuned, proving less retinoid reactions and a wider scope of use.  Most of us should be using it, not only to help us age more gracefully and have clear skin, but, more importantly, so our skin is healthier.

Function's of Vitamin A for the Skin:

• Normalises blood flow (taking nutrients and oxygen to the cells)
• Aids in eradication of pre-cancerous cells
• Regulates Melanin Production (pigmentation)
• Speed's up Cell Turnover 
• Improves Skin Hydration
• Increase's the deposition of collagen (slows down the ageing process)

The secret to achieving Vitamin A Rich skin is to listen to it! Slow and steady wins the race, your skin will, over time, build a tolerance to vitamin A. At Skin Geraldton we start our vitamin A at a Baseline Ultraceutical's mild .2% strength, ranging up to our Medical Grade Concentrate 1% Pure Retinol (Ultraceuticals MD). A Skin Consultation is necessary to determine the correct skincare products and ingredients to suit you. 

* WARNING * If pregnant, thinking of being so or breastfeeding, please discuss the use of any Vitamin A product with your doctor. We recommend that you cease use during this period.
