Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid.

However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
