Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is an essential nutrient for skin, eye, and immune system health. It plays a key role in maintaining normal vision, especially in low-light conditions, and supports cell growth and regeneration.

Retinol is available as oral supplements or topical creams and is used to treat vitamin A deficiencies, acne, or other dermatological conditions. It is important to follow the recommended dosage, as excessive vitamin A intake can be toxic.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry skin, or local irritation (in the case of topical use). In rare cases, overdose can lead to hypervitaminosis A, a serious condition requiring medical attention.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other supplements or medications being used to avoid interactions or adverse effects associated with retinol.
