Retinoidy – mechanizm działania i zakres efektów niepożądanych po stosowaniu doustnym i aplikacji na skórę

Agnieszka Irlik¹, Anna Piotrowska²

Summary
Vitamin A derivatives are increasingly used in cosmetic procedures and pharmacological treatment. They can greatly affect the appearance of the skin, but like all other active substances – they can cause side effects (SEF).
The aim of the study was to show the problems in which retinoids are used in dermatology and cosmetology, the way they work and the indication of possible side effects. Methods of minimizing side effects were analyzed and SEF differences after systemic and skin application were checked.
Side effects caused by the use of retinoids are very common, dose-dependent, and the level of danger for the body varies from mild (dry skin) to very serious (teratogenicity, depression). The decision about taking retinoid treatment is made by the specialist after the interview. The appearance of SEF may require modification of the form or dose, sometimes it requires cessation of treatment.
