The Vitamins Your Skin Loves
A, E, B3 & B5
Vitamins are among the most studied and most rewarding actives in skincare — each playing a distinct role in cell turnover, protection, and repair.
Vitamin A — The Proven Anti-Wrinkle Active (Retinol)
In skincare, vitamin A and its derivatives (retinoids) play a crucial role in promoting cell turnover, improving skin structure, and addressing specific dermatological concerns. Retinyl palmitate — included at 0.6%, equal to 0.3% retinol — serves as a precursor to retinol, making it a gentle yet potent choice for skin renewal and vitality. Retinoids influence sebocytes, reduce inflammation, fade dark spots, and reduce wrinkles.
Vitamin E — A Comprehensive Overview
Vitamin E refers to a group of lipids called tocopherols, whose primary function is acting as biological antioxidants. It has demonstrated significant relevance in dermatology, with both systemic and topical applications contributing to skin health: protection against oxidative stress, wound healing, anti-inflammatory properties, reduced erythema and photo-aging, and help in managing dermatitis and psoriasis.
Vitamin B3 — Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a versatile and well-researched ingredient in dermatology and skincare. Its safety, stability, and broad-spectrum benefits make it an essential component in both therapeutic and cosmeceutical formulations: reducing redness, improving skin tone, effective hydration, barrier strengthening, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action, sebum regulation, reduced hyperpigmentation, and anti-aging.
Vitamin B5 — Pantothenic Acid
Pantothenic acid and its derivative, dexpanthenol, are highly versatile in dermatological and systemic applications. Their roles in promoting skin hydration, barrier repair, and anti-inflammatory effects are well-supported by biochemical mechanisms and clinical studies — underscoring their therapeutic potential across conditions from acne to impaired barrier function and photo-damaged skin.
