7. PHOTO AGEX® Retinaldehyde
Epidermal and Dermal concentrations of Retinaldehyde and Retinoic acid were higher after Retinaldehyde with Glycolic acid as compared to both Retinaldehyde 0.1%alone and Retinoic acid 0.05% alone, the presence of glycolic acid increases conversion of Retinaldehyde to Retinoic acid
Photo Agex® contains 0.6% retinaldehyde & 6% Glycolic acid.

RALGA
A combination of Retinaldehyde (0.1%) and Glycolic Acid ( 6%)has a higher skin depigmentation potential than Retinoic Acid (0.05%) in the tail skin of C57BL/6 MICE. Its depigmenting result was seen earlier than Retinoic acid ie only one week of application.

11. PHOTO AGEX® Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid labelled with heavy hydrogen (3H) was shown by autoradiography to disseminate through all layers of intact skin in mouse and human skin.
Polymers of KDa were recovered from both blood and skin suggesting active absorption as such large molecules would not enter by diffusion alone.
Assist in carrying large vitamin C molecules deep into the dermis.
