Retinyl Propionate

The details

Retinyl Propionate is a retinoid. Retinoids are the gold-standard class of anti-aging ingredients. Most retinoids have to be converted to become effective. For some, this conversion line is long and possible ineffective. The end goal? Retinoid acid, AKA tretinoin . Retinyl Propionate is an ester of retinol, like Retinyl Palmitate . Though the conversion line is longer for this ingredient - the results seem promising. A study from 2021 found Retinyl Propionate to be just as effective as retinol . FYI - Retinol is one of the most well-studied OTC ingredients. Other studies show promising results as well: Reducing sun damage helps with: reducing the appearance of wrinkles, evening out skin tone, increasing skin plumpness, and decreasing dullness. Using retinol or any retinoids will increase sun-sensitivity in the first few months. Though studies show retinoids increase your skin's natural SPF with continuous use, it is best to always wear sunscreen and sun-protection.
