Vitamin A
Retinol/retinyl palmitate, a fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, immune function, skin health, and cellular differentiation. Important for maintaining healthy epithelial tissues.
What it’s good for
Vitamin A (retinol) is essential for skin cell differentiation, turnover, and sebaceous gland function. It promotes keratinocyte maturation, enhances the skin barrier, stimulates collagen production, and normalizes desquamation to prevent dry, flaky skin.
Dose: 2500–5000 IU
Vitamin A normalizes keratinocyte differentiation preventing follicular hyperkeratinization (comedones). It reduces sebaceous gland activity, modulates inflammatory gene expression, and supports skin cell turnover to prevent pore clogging.
Dose: 5000–10000 IU
Vitamin A is a structural component of rhodopsin, the light-sensitive photoreceptor pigment in rod cells. It maintains corneal epithelial integrity, supports conjunctival goblet cell mucin production, and is essential for dark adaptation and visual acuity.
Dose: 2500–5000 IU
Vitamin A maintains the health of conjunctival goblet cells that produce the mucin layer of the tear film. Adequate vitamin A prevents corneal drying and ensures proper tear film stability, reducing friction and eye strain during prolonged visual tasks.
Dose: 2500–5000 IU
