Amorepacific Hosts Retinol Academic Symposium

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Amorepacific Technical Research Institute's Asian Beauty Research Center announced on the 13th that it held a Retinol Academic Symposium introducing various research achievements related to retinol ingredients.

Retinol is a type of vitamin A that is excellent for anti-aging effects, including improving skin wrinkles, but due to the drawback of being difficult to stabilize, technology capable of properly applying it to the skin is essential.

At this symposium, various presentations on retinol were conducted from an academic perspective. Professor Donghoon Lee of Seoul National University gave a presentation titled "Retinoid Skin Research: Past and Present," discussing various perspectives and trends related to retinoids, including retinol.

Professor Hyewon Kim of Hallym University introduced "Desirable Beauty Methods Considering the Efficacy and Side Effects of Retinol." Research Executive Byunggeun Chae of Amorepacific Technical Research Institute presented on "25 Years of Retinol Research," covering Amorepacific Technical Research Institute's retinol-related research since 1994 aimed at maximizing skin efficacy while minimizing irritation.

Through 25 years of research, Amorepacific has continued various innovations such as raw material stabilization, improved skin affinity, minimized irritation, enhanced efficacy synergy, and increased productivity. In the process, it has achieved various accomplishments including 25 domestic patent applications, 22 overseas patent applications, 10 SCI-level paper publications, 18 presentations at international academic conferences, and 6 awards.

Seonghui Seo, head of the Asian Beauty Research Center at Amorepacific Technical Research Institute, said, "It was a very meaningful occasion to introduce and deeply discuss the results of Amorepacific's 25 years of retinol research through the twelfth Asian Beauty Research Symposium," adding, "Going forward, Amorepacific Technical Research Institute will continue to devote its best efforts to developing innovative products that provide safe and immediate effects for skin aging concerns faced by customers worldwide."
