Search Results for "Vitamin A"

Vitamin A is the body’s light switch and cell-differentiation coach. In deficiency, vision and immune defenses falter; in the right (usually topical or medically supervised) forms, retinoids reshape skin cell behavior to clear acne and smooth photoaged wrinkles. Think of it as a signal that tells tissues when to grow, repair, and specialize.
