Organicare Ingredients 101: Vitamin A

Retinyl Palmitate ... it sounds scary but it's just vitamin A! Vitamin A can be found in dairy products vegetables, fruits, and Organicare skincare products! Our products which contain Vitamin A are Energeyes, Daily Dew, Night Nourish, Fresh Fix, Brighter Tomorrow, and Rescue Me.

In dermatology, Vitamin A is used to reduce the size and function of the sebaceous gland. What are they? Sebaceous glands are glands on the human body (found in highest abundance on the face and scalp) which secrete "sebum," or oil ... oil that causes blemishes.

The decrease in the oil production leads to a decrease in bacteria on the face, which also decreases the appearance and size of blemishes ... sounds like a deal to me!
