Features and Areas of Use: Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a compound from the retinoid class. Retinoids are known to help improve fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone by promoting skin cell renewal. Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a safe alternative to retinol and retinoic acid, causing less skin irritation. It promotes collagen production and increases skin elasticity. It balances skin tone and regulates melanin production, acting against hyperpigmentation and spots. It reduces the appearance of dark spots on the skin. It is also effective in acne treatment. It helps to clear pores and regulates oil production in the skin, thereby preventing acne formation. 

Physical Structure: It is a liquid compound with an amber hue. It may have a neutral or slightly chemical odor, but the odor is not noticeable when mixed into the formulation. It has low viscosity and disperses uniformly in products. Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) is a stable compound and can remain stable in formulations for a long time without being affected by light. This allows HPR to retain its effectiveness in skincare products for longer periods, unlike other retinoids.

Recommended pH range: It remains stable within a pH range of 4.0 - 6.0, which is compatible with the skin.

Solubility: Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a water-soluble compound.

Recommended usage rate: It can be used at concentrations of 0.05% - 0.5%, depending on skin sensitivity.
