Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate 10% (HPR10) is a mouthful of an innovative ingredient that has been gaining popularity as a Vitamin A derivative that is capable of binding directly to retinoid receptors in the skin.  HPR is proprietary to and supplied by Grant Industries.  It is not new but its reputation has been building as a potent but gentle way of improving the skin’s appearance from the signs of aging and anti-aging. It is ideal for refining the skin’s texture, clarity and feel and ideal for a retinol-like product even as part of a skin cycling routine. 

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a cosmetically used ester of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) that binds directly to the retinoic acid receptors in the skin, acting without the need for metabolic conversion. This reduces side effects such as skin irritation that are often associated with ATRA application.

Anti-Aging: HPR promotes collagen production and increases skin elasticity. Studies have shown that HPR significantly boosts collagen synthesis and increases skin thickness, leading to a reduction in wrinkles.

Acne Reduction: HPR has anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce acne breakouts and associated redness without disturbing the skin barrier.

Improvement of Skin Texture: The use of HPR leads to a smoother and more even skin texture by promoting cell renewal and reducing pigmentation spots.
