Abstract

The effects of retinoic acid topical use include: proliferation and differentiation of epidermal cells, with increase of epidermal thickness, high glycosaminoglycan production, which provides water retention, resulting in hydration, increases pro-collagen I and III synthesis by fibroblasts and reduces metalloproteinase synthesis in keratinocytes and fibroblasts.The topical use of retinoic acid creams consists the major treatment to skin aging, mainly in photoaging. However, its use as superficial chemical peeling agent in formulations with high concentrations requires efficacy and safe results. There are controversies about advantage of peeling retinoic acid in relation about continuous use, with low concentration. This research will be experimental and therapeutic intervention. The experience will have stages. At the first one the cutaneous permeation of retinoic acid will be compared in different pharmaceutical forms (cream and hydroalcoholic solution) and in different concentrations (0.05% and 5%), applied to the skin for the human forearm and pig earn skin. On the second stage the therapeutic intervention clinic study will be performed, randomized, comparative and double-blind to verify the efficacy and safety of retinoic acid base, which will select at the first step of the study, containing 0.05% or as agent for serial superficial peelings at 5% concentration in the treatment of forearm advanced photoaging. The research will still evaluate the formulations stability and the protection of pack against ultraviolet radiation. (AU)
