As we start aging we start worrying about all those wrinkles which will appear on our skin. The wrinkles and brown spots associated with aging appear first and most prominently on skin exposed to the sun. Researchers have found out that applying vitamin A to the skin appears to improve the wrinkles associated with natural aging and may help to promote the production of skin-building compounds. On trail conducted on individuals it was proved that wrinkles, roughness and overall aging severity were all significantly reduced in the retinol-treated individuals as compared to the others without treatment. The skin biopsies revealed that the retinol increased the production of glycosaminoglycan and procollagen, structural components of the skin.

Topical retinol improves fine wrinkles associated with natural aging. Also retinol-treated aged skin is more likely to withstand skin injury and ulcer formation along with improved appearance.
