Adapinoid

Adapinoid is the only third-generation retinoid for cosmetic use. This novel active is a precursor of adapalene, utilizing a smart delivery system that bio-transforms with the skin's own enzymes to slowly release active adapalene into the dermal layers. It is proven to increase collagen, reduce photoaging, balance skin tone, soothe inflammation, reduce pores, and clear acne-prone skin. Unlike first-generation retinoids (vitamin A types like retinol and retinoic acid), Adapinoid has far fewer toxicity, stability, and skin-irritation concerns. It is inherently stable without the need for expensive airless packaging, nitrogen blanket filling, restricted storage conditions, or anti-oxidants to preserve efficacy or color.
