3Helix Blog Using B-CHP to Stain for Damaged Collagen Illuminates Impacts of Retinal + Retinol Analog Treatment on UV Exposed Skin

UV light exposure causes skin damage, leading to wrinkles, roughness, and accelerated aging. While retinoids are effective anti-aging treatments, they often cause skin irritation. This study highlights a breakthrough alternative using retinal (RAL), combined with plant-derived retinol analogs like bakuchiol (BAK) and Vigna aconitifolia extract (VAE). Research on UV-damaged skin demonstrated that this combination therapy reduces collagen damage, lowers MMP-1 activity, and promotes skin repair. Clinical trials confirmed faster results, including reduced wrinkles and improved skin elasticity, within just 28 days-without the irritation associated with traditional retinoids.
