Tocopheryl Retinoate

Tocopheryl retinoate is a combination of vitamin E and vitamin A. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals. These aggressive molecules are constantly produced during natural metabolic processes in the body. As they search for reaction partners, they destroy skin lipids, cell membranes and proteins in the process. The result: the skin is weakened, has a dull appearance and wrinkles start to appear.Tocopherol has the ability to provide moisture to the horny layer of the skin. This enables the skin to retain more moisture in the long term. The skin barrier is increasingly weakened particularly in mature skin and skin that requires special care. Small cracks develop in the skin through which external stimuli can more easily get into the skin. This does not only cause redness and wrinkles, but also promotes the acute outbreak of skin diseases such as neurodermatitis or rosacea. Vitamin E also promotes the formation of new cells in the skin.
