Introduction.

The purpose of this study is to research topically applied and orally taken vitamin A for the treatment of photo ageing. From this data it will then be determined whether one is more effective than the other in the treatment of photo ageing. This information will be useful in the beauty industry as well as The Retreat at Newcastle College, as it may influence the treatments and products provided to give clients the most effective results.

According to Dhatt (2013) ‘vitamin A and its retinoid-derivative family continue to reign as the unequivocal gold standard of skin care’, this means that vitamin A and retinoids play a significant role in skin care and the beauty industry. So it could be said that it is vital that there is substantial research into the subject, as it may impact which products and treatments are available and preferred.

This study will consist of secondary research into previous investigations and experiments into photo ageing and the effects of vitamin A when taken both orally and topically applied, as well as any other effects on the body.
