Vitamin A contains retinoic acid5 (the active ingredient in retinol products), which can upregulate collagen production, stimulate skin cell turnover, and help deal with photodamage. However, we should note that the amount of retinoic acid in natural vitamin A isn’t as strong as prescription or OTC retinols, so you won’t get the exact same benefits, but it’s certainly worth adding to your routine.Â
