Vitamin A

Cellulite.

Clinical Study Title:
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of topical retinol in the treatment of cellulite.

Plain English Summary:
In this study, 15 women participated in an experiment to determine the effect of a topical vitamin A treatment on the appearance of cellulite. Participates were given the topical cream of vitamin A or a placebo cream to apply to cellulite. At the end of 6 months, the skin was examined. The elasticity of the skin improved by 10.7%, while viscosity improved by 15.8%. This suggests that a vitamin A cream can help to alleviate cellulite by helping to smooth out the skin.
