Intraceuticals Vitamin A Booster 15ml

Vitamin A booster serum with Retinyl Palmitate for skin renewal

Vitamin A has been recognized for decades as one of the best-supported active ingredients in skincare — but its effectiveness depends on the stability and tolerance of the formula. Classic retinol products often irritate the skin, especially when used in higher concentrations or on sensitive skin types.

The Intraceuticals Vitamin A Booster works with a "release on demand" technology based on Retinyl Palmitate: a more stable, milder form of Vitamin A that the skin releases gradually. This increases efficacy, extends the formula’s shelf life, and significantly lowers the risk of redness or peeling. The result is skin that is refined, more even, and visibly smoother — without the discomfort traditionally associated with Vitamin A use.

Benefits

• Refines skin texture and reduces the visibility of enlarged pores
• Reduces fine lines and softens deeper wrinkles with regular use
• Lightens pigmentation spots and evens out uneven skin tone caused by sun damage
• Soothes blemishes and helps reduce skin congestion
• Milder than classic retinol thanks to the "release on demand" technology

Active ingredients

Retinyl Palmitate: This is the ester-bound form of Vitamin A — more stable and skin-friendly than free retinol. The skin gradually converts Retinyl Palmitate into the active form, providing a steady release and significantly lower risk of irritation. It stimulates cell renewal, supports collagen production, and helps reduce blemishes, enlarged pores, and superficial pigmentation.

Sodium Hyaluronate: Hyaluronic acid in the low-molecular-weight sodium salt form penetrates deep into the upper skin layers, retains moisture, and keeps the skin supple and well-hydrated during the renewal process triggered by Vitamin A.

Glycerin: Supports the skin barrier and maintains hydration, which is essential when using active ingredients like Vitamin A. Glycerin ensures the skin feels comfortable and does not dry out.

Polymethyl Methacrylate: Microscopically small beads that help enable the "release on demand" effect. They ensure an even delivery of the active ingredient while giving the skin a smoother, more refined surface.

How to use

1. Thoroughly cleanse the face as the first step of your evening routine
2. Take one pump of Vitamin A Booster and apply to face and neck
3. For optimal results: mix the booster with one pump of Intraceuticals Daily Serum in the palm of your hand before applying
4. Follow with Intraceuticals Hydration Gel and Moisture Binding Cream for full hyaluronic layering
5. Use this product only in the evening — always apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day, as Vitamin A makes the skin more sensitive to UV radiation

Suitable for

• Skin with visible pores, impurities, or congestion
• Mature skin with fine lines, deep wrinkles, or loss of skin texture
• Skin with pigmentation spots or uneven tone due to sun damage
• People sensitive to classic retinol looking for a milder Vitamin A formula

Not suitable for: use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, when using medicinal acne treatments, or during an active skin peeling program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this product recommended for evening use and not in the morning?

Vitamin A increases the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation. By using the booster only at night and always applying SPF during the day, you maximize its benefits while protecting the skin from additional damage.

Is Retinyl Palmitate as effective as classic retinol?

Retinyl Palmitate works through the same biological pathway as retinol but is gradually converted by the skin — resulting in less irritation with similar long-term results. For skin types sensitive to retinol, this is a valuable, well-tolerated option.

Can I combine the Vitamin A Booster with the Collagen Booster?

Yes. Intraceuticals recommends alternating the Vitamin A Booster with the Collagen Booster in the evening for a complete anti-aging night routine. Both boosters enhance each other's effects on skin renewal and firmness.
