Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate 10% (HPR 10) is a next-generation retinoid derivative known for its stable chemical structure and potent anti-aging and skin-repairing properties. Unlike traditional retinol, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate 10% does not require conversion in the skin to become active, making it gentler and less irritating. A 10% concentration in cosmetics is considered high-efficacy, ideal for anti-aging and skin-repair formulations.
Benefits:
-
Anti-aging: Stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin elasticity.
-
Skin repair: Accelerates cell turnover, refines skin texture, and fades acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
-
Antioxidant: Neutralizes free radicals, delaying skin aging.
-
Gentleness: Compared to traditional retinol, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate 10% is less irritating and suitable for sensitive skin.
Applications:
-
Used in anti-aging serums, creams, or lotions.
-
Serves as a key active ingredient in repair-focused products, ideal for nighttime skincare routines.

Always use sunscreen during the day to protect skin from UV damage.
-
Avoid combining with other highly irritating ingredients (e.g., AHAs, BHAs) to prevent skin sensitivity.
