Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (also known as HPR or Granactive Retinoid) is a 4th generation of retinoids - it is oil-soluble & quick absorbing. It is the only one, apart from Tretinion or Retinoid Acid, that does not need to go through any metabolic changes before it can be effective. It binds directly onto the retinoid receptors of the skin cells.
What does it do?
It inhibits collagen-destroying enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).
It boosts the skin’s own collagen synthesis (type I & III).
It stimulates natural moisturising factor glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and skin protein filaggrin.
It makes the epidermis thicker and compacts the outermost layer of the skin.
It reduces sebum production so great for spot-prone skin - though it is important to replenish the lipid barrier which is why we use hemi-squalane which is wonderful saturated, plant sourced, fat.
