Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) – Next-Gen Gentle Retinoid for Sensitive Skin
Brief Introduction
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) is a synthetic, next-generation retinoid ester widely recognized for its stability and skin tolerance. Chemically, it is formed by esterifying all-trans retinoic acid (the active form of Vitamin A) with hydroxypinacolone. This unique esterification enhances its properties significantly compared to traditional retinoids like retinol or retinoic acid.
