retinoid
Retinoic acid ester that binds retinoid receptors directly without enzymatic conversion. Claimed to deliver retinoid benefits with minimal irritation, though independent evidence is limited.
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a retinoid backed by early but promising evidence (evidence tier 3 of 4). We track 2 studies for it, 2 reporting a positive effect. It is typically effective at 0.1–1% in a formulation.
