Vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate — active cellular component. Comedogenicity level: 1/5. Irritation level: 3/5. Use with caution.

Vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate is classified as use with caution — it can be a valuable ingredient, but is more likely to cause irritation or sensitivity for some skin types than a plain "safe" ingredient, so patch testing is worth doing first.

Vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate has a comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5 — low, so it's unlikely to clog pores for most people, though very reactive skin can still respond individually.

Vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate is classified as a retinoid in the Pure Moonlight ingredient database. That classification reflects its primary functional role in a skincare formula.
