Vitamin A, also known as retinoids, is beneficial for the skin as it is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from damage, improves skin texture and pigmentation, reduces the appearance of fine lines, age spots and wrinkles. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and inflammation. It's particularly helpful for acne-prone skin, but it's important to use it gradually and under a dermatologist supervision or use sun protection as it can cause irritation or sun sensitivity.
