INCI: Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate
A next-generation retinoid selected for smoother-looking texture, refined tone, and visible skin renewal.
What Is Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate?
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, commonly abbreviated HPR, is a vitamin A derivative used in advanced age-supportive skincare. It belongs to the retinoid family and is incorporated into formulas designed to support the appearance of smoother, more refined, and visibly renewed skin.
HPR is distinct from traditional retinol and is selected by formulators when developing sophisticated retinoid treatments with an emphasis on formulation stability and an elegant application experience.
Benefits
HPR helps support the appearance of smoother texture, improved clarity, more even-looking tone, and softened visible signs of skin aging such as fine lines and loss of refinement.
Because retinoids are commonly incorporated into renewal-focused skincare, HPR is particularly suited to intentional evening routines and treatment formulas designed to complement the skin's nighttime care ritual.
Why We Use HPR
Pure Intox selected Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate for Advanced Renewal Serum-Oil because it complements the formula's combination of nourishing botanical oils and oil-soluble actives.
Paired with THD Vitamin C and skin-conditioning botanical oils, HPR helps create a treatment-focused formula centered on visible renewal, radiance, and smoother-looking texture.
Sourcing & Quality
We use cosmetic-grade Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate selected for stability, consistency, and compatibility with advanced skincare formulations. Because retinoids are sensitive to environmental exposure, careful formulation, packaging, and storage help protect ingredient integrity.
Retinoid-containing products should be used according to their individual product directions. Daily broad-spectrum sun protection is an important part of a skincare routine when incorporating retinoids.
