Retinol, also known as vitamin A1, is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, immune function, and cellular growth. It is used in dermatology for treating acne and skin aging, commonly as topical formulations. Oral or injectable forms are used for vitamin A deficiency, though not common in developed countries. Retinol is approved for use as a dietary supplement and in prescription products.
No published clinical pharmacokinetic models specific to dermatological or systemic use of retinol (ATC D10AD02) in humans with full parameters. Parameter estimates based on general vitamin A (retinol) pharmacokinetics in healthy adult volunteers after oral administration.
