Maximum Retinol Without Prescription

Question: What is the maximum retinol available without prescription?

Answer: Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A and is used skin care for a number of reasons:

• It increases cell turnover in the skin’s epidermis (top layer). New skin cells leads to a brighter and smoother look.
• Stimulates collagen production which smoothes and plumps
• Reduces pigmentation associated with sun damage
• Helps shrink oil glands to reduce pore size and diminish scars.
• Fights against free radicals, which can age skin.

Skin is left looking tighter, smoother and more evenly tones. Individuals with acne experience fewer blemishes and smaller pores when using retinol.

Retinol must be broken down into retinoic acid in order to be effective at the cellular level. Retinol is available without a prescription at a maximum concentration of 1%. Retinoic acid however, is only available by prescription. Collectively, retinol and retinoic acid are referred to as retinoids.
