Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (Cat No.:L022548) is a next-generation retinoid derivative that combines retinoic acid efficacy with enhanced stability and reduced skin irritation. Structurally, it is an ester of all-trans retinoic acid and hydroxypinacolone, allowing it to bind directly to retinoid receptors without requiring metabolic conversion. This makes HPR effective at promoting skin cell turnover, improving texture, and reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It is widely used in advanced skincare formulations due to its high potency, low irritation profile, and stability in cosmetic products under typical storage conditions.
