Why Is Vitamin A Called The “Ingredient Of Youth”?

Imagine there was a super- ingredient that could dramatically improve the skin’s texture, control pigmentation, minimise wrinkles and even protect against cancer. In an industry surrounded by hype, it can be hard to know what to believe. Yet this clinically proven ingredient does exist, and there is a wealth of research to back up the claims. It is simply vitamin A, which is an essential ingredient of the Obagi Nu-Derm Sysytem. The beauty industry is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of this powerful nutrient. It has normalizing effect on DNS, which results is healthier cells. The skin becomes firmer and smoother because there are more moisturizing factors which plump it out. It also plays an important role in increasing collagen production and reducing uneven skin tone. However, if you are only applying it topically you are only doing half of the job. That is why, Obagi Nu-Derm has a ‘deliverer’ in its formula to get precious Vitamin A deep into the dermis. Once Vitamin A is there, an interesting process kicks in. It wakes up fibroblasts – the cells responsible for the production of two ingredients of ‘youth’ in our skin: collagen and hyaluronic acid. Collagen creates volume and hyaluronic acid moisturises the tissue from the inside. As a matter of fact, fibroblasts ‘fall asleep’ approximatelly at the age of 26. Vitamin A, if delivered in the dermis, makes fibroblasts work again and your skin starts delivering collagen and hyaluronic acid to the skin surface. The rejuvenation process begins!
