Encapsulated Retinol Advantages
Encapsulated Retinol Advantages Encapsulated retinol products generally keep light and oxygen away from the active ingredients until the formula is applied to skin which means it's more stable. (Think of the submarines.) Prystowsky says that this will help ensure potency of the product until each dose is used. That means users will get more consistent dosages, which is important in skin care, especially when using powerful ingredients. Gohara continues that encapsulated retinol will be able to penetrate deeper into skin since it is protected by an outer layer (the capsule) until it hits its destination. Then it can get to work fading wrinkles, preventing acne and boosting collagen production.
