Retin-A Retinol Cream is an anti-aging must have that stops the aging process in multiple ways. As we age, specific enzymes in our bodies called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) break down the skin’s structural proteins, collagen and elastin, contributing to wrinkles and sagging skin. Retin-A indirectly inhibits these MMPs from breaking down. When retinoids bind with skin cell retinoid receptors they trigger a series of age-defying processes that can expand the lifespan of cells and affect many intra-cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation and synthesis of collagen and elastin, and an increase in sebum production. By increasing the rate of skin turnover and reducing the rate of collagen breakdown, retinoids reverse the signs of aging for glowing, youthful skin. Granactive Retinoid is unique in that it binds directly with retinoid receptors, skipping several enzymatic steps that retinol requires in order to be metabolized into more active forms. This eliminates the irritation associated with other retinol and retinoid derivatives, without compromising the powerful anti-aging processes that retinol activates.
