Anti-Aging Vita Gel (Niacinamide / Tretinoin / Vitamin C) 4/0.03/5% 30mL

Tretinoin

Tretinoin, also known as all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), is a naturally occurring derivative of vitamin A. As vitamin A (retinol) derivatives, retinoids are important regulators of cell reproduction, and cell proliferation and differentiation; however, unlike vitamin A, retinoids are not converted into rhodopsin, which is needed for night vision. Topical tretinoin is indicated in the treatment of mild to moderate acne (e.g., grades I-III) and photodamaged skin.

Niacinamide

Niacin (nicotinic acid or 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid) is a B-complex vitamin. Good dietary sources of niacin are animal proteins, beans, green vegetables, liver, mushrooms, peanuts, whole wheat, and unpolished rice. 

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, antioxidant, and crucial co-factor for the metabolism of carnitine and catecholamines, the production of collagen, and the absorption of dietary iron. Vitamin C is required for the hydroxylation of proline residues on procollagen, which results in the synthesis of mature collagen’s triple helix.
