What is Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate ?

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) is a unique retinoic acid derivative and the newest member of the vitamin A family of ingredients. It is a so-called retinoic acid ester, which is directly related to retinoic acid. Different from other forms of retinoids, HPR can directly act on the skin and bind to the retinoid receptors of skin cells, it can achieve the purpose of skin care without additional transformation steps.

How does Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate work?

The binding of retinoid receptors can epigenetically enhance gene expression, which effectively turns key cellular functions on and off. When skin cell retinoid receptors are bound with retinoids, a cascade of mechanisms that benefit skin structures and functions are ‘switched on. This can result in enhanced cell proliferation, biosynthesis of extracellular proteins and glycans, and improved cellular turnover. Stimulating these age defying processes in the skin is critical for fighting and reversing signs of ageing and overall skin balance.

As a class of chemical compounds termed retinoids, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate can binde to retinoid receptors in cells, which stimulates skin cell proliferation, restoring thickness to skin that has become thinner over time. These processes help reduce lines and wrinkles to promote a youthful appearance, while safeguarding skin from further wrinkle development. Moreover, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate also reduces uneven pigmentation improving brightness and luminosity and regulates cell to renew plumpness, elasticity and hydration to improve skin health, youthfulness and clarity.

Compared with other forms of vitamin A, Hydroxypinacolone retinoate is the stability and low irritation of its ingredients. Thermal stress tests have shown that it will remain stable and effective on the skin for up to 15 hours.
