I LOVE vitamin A both in the forms of Retinol and Retinaldehyde. The effects this vitamin has on the skin is far superior in my eyes than any other ingredient I have ever come across. In the right dosage, along with other skin rejuvenators (such as copper, vitamin c, niacinamide etc) the results are clearly visible and long term. What more could you ask for?
There are of course some facts one should know when using Vitamin A, for eg. Retinol can cause photo-sensitivity meaning your skin will burn a lot quicker than normal (when not using Vitamin A). Also, Vitamin A cannot be used when you are pregnant and breastfeeding. Please be aware that there are different types of Vitamin A. To ensure that you are getting the result as mentioned above you will need to be using a Vitamin A product from medical skincare.
Vitamin A products that are available in department stores and supermarkets will not contain the percentage required to see an obvious change in the skin. This change is due to the normalizing action on the cells that vitamin A has. It stimulates collagen and elastin production very well. Ingredients such as Vitamin A are not advisable to use whilst pregnant and breastfeeding.
See below for my favourite skin rejuvenating, anti-aging products that you can use safely whilst pregnant.
Osmosis Catalyst Plus Serum - We have taken a more stable, time-released form of Vitamin C, doubled it in strength and added soothing aloe. You now have a lighter version of Catalyst in the convenience of a pump that can be used on the most sensitive of skin. It repairs DNA damage and assists in the production of proteins and antioxidants within the cell by utilizing the same patented Zinc Finger Technology of Catalyst. This combination of amino acids, copper and zinc improves wound healing, lightens hyperpigmentation, reduces visible capillaries and stimulates collagen and elastin production just as effectively as Catalyst but is gentler to the skin.
Osmosis Replenish Serum - Replenish is our all-natural, chirally correct, liposomal antioxidant serum with the most proven and potent antioxidants available. In addition to getting a significant percentage of the antioxidants to the dermis which protects at a deeper level, Replenish also contains 5 collagen/elastin stimulators.
