Efficacy And Safety Evaluations Of Topical Proretinal Nanoparticles, Benchaphorn Limcharoen

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Retinal (retinaldehyde) is one of natural vitamin A metabolites. It is widely used in clinical dermatology such as acne, acne scar, photoaging, wrinkles, psoriasis, skin neoplasia and seborrheic dermatitis. Retinal is a pivotal key to regulate keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation in the epidermis resulting in epidermal thickening and inhibit collagen destruction in the dermis. However, topical application of retinal is still irritative to the skin and chemically and photochemically unstable. Topically applied retinal can induce a retinoid dermatitis. This inflammation is induced by an overload of non-physiological amounts of exogenous retinoic acid in the skin. The adverse effects and physicochemical …
