Les Rétinoïdes

Ils diffèrent par leur puissance, mais ont un objectif commun : stimuler le renouvellement cellulaire, réduire l’acné, les rides et l’hyperpigmentation, lisser la peau et atténuer les signes du vieillissement cutané. Ils favorisent la production de collagène, constituant une référence incontestable en matière d’anti-âge. Chaque forme présente des caractéristiques uniques, adaptées à des besoins variés. * Attention : ne conviennent pas aux femmes enceintes ou allaitantes.

Acide Rétinoïque (trétinoïne) : La forme la plus puissante. Forme active de la vitamine A, l’acide rétinoïque est essentiel à la régénération cellulaire. Utilisé principalement en dermatologie, il traite efficacement l’acné et les signes avancés du vieillissement, tels que les rides profondes. En raison de son potentiel irritant, son utilisation nécessite une prescription médicale et un suivi attentif.

Rétinal : Puissance et tolérance. Le rétinal, est un métabolite intermédiaire entre le rétinol et l’acide rétinoïque. Il stimule le renouvellement cellulaire et améliore visiblement la texture de la peau tout en réduisant les signes de l’âge. C’est la forme la plus puissante disponible sans ordonnance, offrant une alternative efficace et mieux tolérée que l’acide rétinoïque.

Rétinol : La référence en soins anti-âge. Actif phare de la vitamine A, le rétinol est connu pour ses vertus anti-âge et son efficacité contre l’acné. Il favorise le renouvellement cellulaire, lisse la peau et atténue les rides. Accessible sans ordonnance, il sera prochainement réglementé à 0,3 % en Europe.

Rétinyl Palmitate : Douceur et stabilité. Dérivé doux de la vitamine A, le rétinyl palmitate est plus stable et moins irritant que le rétinol. Il convient idéalement aux peaux sensibles, tout en améliorant la texture de la peau, en réduisant les rides et en aidant à traiter l’acné.

Occlusive, emollient and humectant: How to differentiate them?

Occlusive: They form a barrier on the surface of the skin, preventing water from evaporating. They help maintain natural hydration by retaining moisture already present in the skin, preventing transepidermal water loss and the feeling of dryness.

Emollient: They soften and smooth the skin by strengthening its natural barrier. They provide comfort and suppleness by reducing roughness and helping to restore the skin's elasticity, making it smoother and less irritated.

Humectant: They attract moisture from the air or from deeper layers of the skin to the surface. They help maintain optimal hydration by increasing the water content of the surface layers, leaving the skin hydrated and fresh for longer.
