The Verdict is in on Retinols

A recent study in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal confirms that there is little evidence supporting the claim that retinoid based "cosmeceuticals" are effective in the fight against photo-aging. In other words, products that contain Vitamin A derivatives such as Retinol, Retinyl-palmitate, and Retinyl-acetate, do not improve the signs of aging associated with sun damaged skin. These products are commonly sold over the counter in drug or department stores and are available without prescription.

This same study cites evidence that prescription strength Vitamin A derivatives such as Tretinoin (Retin-A) and Isotretinoin (Accutane) DO significantly improve signs of photo-aging. These products are available only by prescription and in skin care products, like Obagi, that are sold at doctors' offices.

So the take home message is: prescription strength skin care is your best weapon against sun damaged skin.
