Why is Retinol (Vitamin A) Good for Your Skin


When it comes to skin care, Retinol as a molecule is very small and capable of penetrating the skin's outer layer and regenerating the deeper layers that contain collagen and elastin. When it penetrates the skin, it stimulates the production of elastin and collagen resulting is smoother and more elastic skin. Importance of Retinol has been long known about in a form of homemade facial masks. Carrot is an excellent source of Retinol.
A medium size carrot has 1015 mg RAE of Vitamin A (Retinol) in it. It is also a good source of Coenzyme Q 10 which helps reduce the visibility of crow's feet.
