Vitamin A
Vitamin A is one of the most essential and well-researched vitamins in skincare, playing a foundational role in cellular renewal, elasticity, and barrier function. It encompasses a family of retinoids — including retinol, retinyl palmitate, and retinoic acid — each varying in potency and depth of action. In topical skincare, Vitamin A derivatives work by binding to receptors in the skin that regulate how cells are produced, how quickly they turn over, and how efficiently collagen is synthesized.
At PUR Botanicals, we use Vitamin A in the form of Retinyl Palmitate — a gentle, ester form of Vitamin A that is well-tolerated by most skin types. It converts to retinol in the skin, delivering renewal and elasticity support with a lower risk of irritation compared to stronger retinoid forms.
- Cellular renewal — accelerates the natural turnover of skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath
- Elasticity support — improves skin firmness and helps normalize dry, parched skin
- Fine line reduction — supports collagen production pathways to visibly soften the appearance of lines over time
- Barrier normalization — helps regulate skin cell function for a more balanced, resilient complexion
