Press Release Summary = Retinoid treatment helps providing something different to
contribute rejuvenating the skin.

Press Release Body = Tretinoin (better known as Retin AŽ) is the acid form and most
potent derivative of vitamin A. Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A. It is
found in animal foods such as fish oils and liver and has only recently been
developed to use as an ingredient in cosmetics.

Facts show that a majority of people in the US want to get rid of sun damaged skin
and it has been found that topical retinoid creams or gels having chemicals derived
from Vitamin A provides best results upon different places especially open parts
such as face and forehead with sunburns.

There are several rejuvenating properties of retinoid (treatments containing
derivatives of vitamin A) have been highly regarded for almost two decades. They
help smooth wrinkles, correct pigmentation, reduce oiliness and acne, eliminate
roughness and stimulate collagen production.

"Retinol is a form of vitamin A alcohol that was not previously used as a commercial
cosmetic ingredient because it was extremely unstable. In other words, it degraded
easily when exposed to oxygen, light or heat and became ineffective," according to
sources.

Retinol is now used as a major ingredient in many fading creams (to help even out
pigment), anti-wrinkle creams, facial moisturizers, and sunscreens. Some products
combine retinol with vitamin C and glycolic ingredients.

Vitamin C and glycolic each represent their own category of therapeutic agents for
treatment of the skin. "Vitamin C is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals
reversing some skin damage as well as stimulating collagen production," says Dr.
Fernandez. "Hydroxy acids [glycolic] are like a micro peel for the skin that remove
dead cells and make it easier for treatments to take effect."
