Background: Retinoids as dermatological agents are effective against acne, psoriasis, skin aging, and other skin conditions. However, their susceptibility to degradation is a limiting factor for their widespread use.
Objectives: Within this study, we aimed to provide comprehensive and evidence-based information on retinoid stability and degradation kinetics in commercial cosmetics, focusing on different factors affecting their stability.
Background: Retinoids are widely used in different cosmetic products because of general improvement of skin appearance. However, retinoid concentration in cosmetics is restricted, and one particular form-retinoic acid, is banned in cosmetics due to safety reasons.
Aims: Within this study, we aimed to examine the quality of a considerable number of commercial retinoid cosmetic products in terms of their content and labeling, including also screening for the presence of retinoic acid.
