# Vitamin A

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/vitamin-a

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Canada.

Vitamin A visibly softens fine lines, smooths wrinkles, evens skin tone, clears blemishes, and increases skin thickness and moisture by boosting [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/collagen) production and cell renewal. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and it comes in exfoliators, creams, eye creams, and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum). For a proper routine, apply it apart from [bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides), [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hexapeptide), and [acetyl hexapeptide-3](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3).

## Questions and answers

### What does vitamin A do for the skin?

Vitamin A helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation while improving overall skin texture and firmness. Topical use may also increase epidermal thickness and stimulate [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/collagen) production in aging skin.

[International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27261203/)

### How do you use vitamin A?

Use vitamin A at night to prevent skin irritation. It helps reduce fine wrinkles and improves skin texture.

[The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

### Should you use vitamin A in the morning or at night?

You should use vitamin A at night to prevent skin irritation.

### Can you use vitamin A every day?
