Unlike Vitamin A Palmitate,
Vitamin A Propionatepenetrates the epidermis. This action takes place as follows;
1)Vitamin A Propionateis converted into Vitamin A Acid, the skin’s natural vitamin.
2)The Vitamin A Acid is transported to the nucleus of the skin cell by Retinoic Acid Receptors (RAR).
3)In the nucleus the Vitamin A Acid accelerates cell proliferation, prevents the rise of collagenase (the enzyme that breaks down collagen), and increases the amount of new collagen formed (a protein that improves skin firming).
