This time, we will dispel the six major misunderstandings about vitamin A one by one, so that you can enjoy the anti-aging power of vitamin A without worries.
Get to know Vitamin A!
Vitamin A (Retinoids) is a general term, and its members include retinoic acid, retinal and retinyl esters. In addition to helping protect visual function , a large amount of scientific evidence shows that it can effectively promote the integrity of epidermal tissue, maintain skin cell renewal, and promote collagen proliferation. In other words, as long as you choose the right form, you can fully utilize the anti-aging effects of vitamin A on your skin!

GLOWTips: Choose vitamin A that is low in irritation and highly effective!
The key to whether Vitamin A is highly effective lies in how many times its form needs to be transformed before it can reach the basal layer and bind to the skin's A acid receptors to produce an effect! However, we often hear that vitamin A acid, which is prescribed by doctors for the treatment of acne, is irritating and can easily cause the skin to become red and thin. This is because this type of vitamin A form (vitamin A acid) is for medical purposes and must be used under the supervision of a doctor, otherwise it may have negative effects on the body.
Myth 1: Will your skin become thinner with more use?
Absolutely not. Thinning of the skin is one of the characteristics of aging, but the use of vitamin A will stimulate fibroblasts in the dermis to continue to produce "collagen" and "elastin", so that the skin maintains elasticity and plumpness, and the skin will gradually return to a healthy thickness.
Myth 2: Young skin (16-24) cannot tolerate vitamin A?
It is suitable for use by all ages except pregnant women, breastfeeding women and children. Vitamin A was originally used to treat adolescent acne and was prescribed by doctors to teenagers. It was not until the 1980s that formal studies showed that vitamin A could reduce fine lines and spots, and then different dermatologists began to develop anti-aging vitamin A products. GLOWBIOTICS® skin scientist David Watsons wanted to develop three signature nighttime vitamin A supplements to target skin problems at different age stages, so that people of all ages can experience the benefits of vitamin A.
Myth 3: It is not suitable for people with sensitive skin?
As long as it is used properly, people with sensitive skin can enjoy the anti-aging experience of vitamin A.
GLOW Tips: When using for the first time, start with 2 nights a week and apply the calming moisturizing essence before the vitamin A essence to effectively reduce excessive dryness and peeling. Gradually increase the frequency of use after your skin has adapted.
Myth 4: Do I need to use it every day to see the effects? The more portions the better?
Vitamin A products do not need to be used every day! Using them 3-4 times a week is enough to see the anti-aging effects of vitamin A, of course, it depends on the form and concentration of vitamin A chosen. The more the better is not necessarily true. One bean is enough for comprehensive use.
Myth 5: The delicate area around the eyes is not suitable for use?
The skin around the eyes is the most vulnerable area of the skin. Rubbing the eyes, smiling, and even wearing contact lenses every day will constantly pull the skin around the eyes and cause dehydration in the underlying skin of the eyes, which will easily cause fine lines and make you look older. Vitamin A can promote collagen production and protect collagen, effectively smoothing out existing fine lines and wrinkles.
GLOWTips: If you are a beginner using vitamin A, it is recommended that you apply eye cream first and then vitamin A serum.
Myth 6: If my skin becomes flaky/dry after using Vitamin A, should I stop using it?
People who use vitamin A for the first time usually go through a "purification period" and it is normal to have a small amount of acne, flaking, and dry skin. After about 7 days of use, once the skin has adapted to vitamin A, all micro-aging problems (acne, enlarged pores, pigmentation, wrinkles) will gradually improve.
GLOWTips: If your skin is overly dry and has flaking problems, it is recommended to reduce the frequency of use to 2-3 nights a week, and apply a calming moisturizing essence before using the vitamin A essence to effectively improve dryness.
Vitamin A is one of the essential essences for all ages. It can effectively solve the four major micro-aging problems: acne, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and even pigmentation! If you are entering early adulthood (25+), now is a good time to add vitamin A products to your skin.
