As the name of this video suggests, vitamin A IS SO IMPORTANT to fighting the signs of age but also just healthy skin in general. But, there are so many micronceptions when it comes to vitamin A, large due to a lack of cosmetic chemistry knowledge about the forms of vitamin A and how they interact with the skin. Many individuals also steer clear of vitamin A due to one bad experience.
As the name of this video suggests, vitamin A IS SO IMPORTANT to fighting the signs of age but also just healthy skin in general. But, there are so many micronceptions when it comes to vitamin A, large due to a lack of cosmetic chemistry knowledge about the forms of vitamin A and how they interact with the skin. Many individuals also steer clear of vitamin A due to one bad experience.
That is why we sat down with Candace Noonan, director of education for Dermaconcepts (the exclusive distributor of Environ in the U.S.) and a licensed esthetician of 18 years to give us the real lowdown on vitamin A. Noonan talks about how retinoic acid (Retin-A) and retinol entered the market and how scientists have since discovered other forms of the vitamin that are just as effective without the side effects.
She discusses why it is important for skin to have different forms of vitamin A, what ingredients vitamin A works well with, how to design treatments with the ingredients, how to educate clients on vitamin A and so much more! You don't want to miss this interview!
