Why Do We Use Vitamin A In TreeActiv Products?

Vitamin A plays a major role in your body’s health and contributes to your natural beauty. Vitamin A (Retinol) is a known retinoid. Retinoids work with receptors in your skin to reach all the way down to its lower layer, known as dermis. Vitamin A then helps to increase levels of naturally produced collagen (main structural protein in skin tissue) . This process gives your skin a firm and strong structure and can help reverse the process in which wrinkles and other signs of aging form. This, along with an increased blood-flow to the skin’s surface, promotes circulation and cell turnover! Vitamin A is essential in giving your skin the structure and balance it needs to thrive.

There are many characteristics of Vitamin A that make it great for hair care products. The antioxidants found in Vitamin A will actively moisturize and condition your scalp. This gives your hair a consistent and balanced shine, while actively defending it against dryness and dandruff. Vitamin A is also a formidable opponent of free radicals that weigh down and weaken your hair. Using Vitamin A will strengthen your hair all the way down to the follicle, giving it the structure and thickness you are looking for. All in all, Vitamin A is here to help your skin and hair reach their fullest potential!
