What is the ingredient in 4X Retinol?

4X Retinol refers to a skin care ingredient that is a form of vitamin A, also known as vitamin A1 alcohol or peroxide alcohol. It is a yellow, fat-soluble alcohol that is considered a very effective anti-aging and skin-repairing ingredient.

Retinol is widely used in skin care because of its multiple benefits. First, it is considered a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and slow down the skin aging process. Secondly, retinol can promote cell metabolism and promote the shedding of aging cells, thus promoting the renewal of skin cells. In addition, retinol stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, making skin firmer and more elastic.

Retinol: Traditional retinol is the most common and has cell renewal and anti-aging effects.

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate: This is a new vitamin A derivative that is more stable and milder, but has similar effects to traditional retinol.

Retinyl Palmitate: This is a milder vitamin A derivative that is metabolized into active retinol, which helps improve skin texture and elasticity.

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoyl Palmitate: This is a complex that combines Hydroxypinacolone Retinoyl Palmitate with palmitic acid for combined anti-aging and restorative effects.

However, due to its higher concentration and potent properties, retinol may also cause skin irritation and dryness. Therefore, ELLEN ELLA's 4x Retinol Serum is technically processed to make the retinol gentler, reach deeper into the skin, and more effective.

In addition, when using products containing retinol during the day, you should use sunscreen in conjunction with it to avoid skin sensitivity and pigmentation caused by sunlight.
