Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), also known as Granactive Retinoid, is a stable and gentle vitamin A derivative. It is an ester form of retinoic acid, making it more bioavailable and less irritating than other retinoids. HPR has anti-aging and acne-fighting properties, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and inflammation while improving skin texture.

Suitable for sensitive skin
Retinol, a common vitamin A derivative, can cause skin irritation, dermatitis, itchiness, dryness, sensitivity, redness, and inflammation. HPR, on the other hand, is less irritating and does not require conversion to retinoic acid, reducing the risk of these side effects.
Start with a low concentration of HPR and gradually increase it over time to minimize the risk of irritation. Use HPR at night, as it can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid using HPR with other harsh skincare products, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).
HPR is a synthetic retinoid, derived from vitamin A.

HPR is a relatively new ingredient, and more research is needed to fully understand its long-term effects on the skin. HPR is an ester form of retinoic acid, which means it is already bioavailable to the skin and does not require conversion like other retinoids. HPR is less irritating than other retinoids, making it suitable for sensitive skin. HPR has been shown to be effective in treating mild to moderate acne, reducing inflammation and preventing breakouts. HPR can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and improve skin texture. HPR is stable for up to 15 hours on the skin, making it a long-lasting ingredient.
