Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate(HPR)-CAS:893412-73-2

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate Powder is the ester of tretinoin, widely available in the form of a yellow HPR powder, wholesale or retail. Before detailing the features of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, it is important to differentiate between retinol, tretinoin, and retinol esters because although they are all derivatives of vitamin A, their uses, actions, and benefits differ significantly. 

Tretinoin is a concentrated all-trans retinoic acid that is widely prescribed by dermatologists to treat moderate to severe acne. It is a retinoid that is only available by prescription and cannot be bought over the counter. Retinol, on the other hand, is a common ingredient in most anti-aging and acne-managing creams and topical agents. Retinol is also retinoic acid however, it is not packaged as such. In fact, retinol must undergo chemical changes, once applied, with the help of enzymes in the skin to convert into retinoic acid. 

Tretinoin and Retinol are both retinoids, which is a class of Vitamin A compounds, both natural and synthetic. The use of retinoids gained traction in the late 1980s and since then, their use has been scientifically backed and supported with Tretinoin receiving FDA approval as a drug for the management of acne vulgaris. 

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a newly discovered retinoid that is believed to be more stable and effective in managing a wide range of skin issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and so on. Also known as granactive retinoid, this specific retinoid is an oxidized retinoid that is less likely to cause skin irritation. The main side effect of retinoid use is the high risk of skin irritation and eczema-like symptoms that occur in most people using either tretinoin or retinol. 

The use of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate Powder has been on a rise recently mostly because of a clear lack of skin irritation as a potential side effect. However, it is also being widely used because of its small molecular size which keeps it well dispersed in topical agents, creams, and essence before it is applied to the skin. This dispersion is essential for the stability of the compound which, in turn, is needed for the best results. Moreover, this small size of the oxidized retinoid is beneficial in the deep penetration of the compound into the skin, helping heal the skin and reverse the photodamage from the inside.
