Description
Retinyl Propionate (RP) is a lesser-known yet promising member of the retinoid family. As a retinol ester, it requires conversion within the skin to become active. It is considered gentler than other retinoids like tretinoin or retinol, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Studies suggest that at a 0.3 percent concentration, it can be effective in reducing wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, offering benefits similar to stronger retinoids while providing better skin tolerance. It serves as a notable alternative for those seeking retinoid benefits with less irritation.
