Short YouTube excerpt (Dr. Charles Mok) explaining anti-aging skincare ingredients. The speaker contrasts retinoid forms—tretinol (described as a strong form of vitamin A), retinoic acid, retinaldehyde, and retinol/alcohol forms—noting that retinol and the alcohol forms are most suitable and generally well tolerated but can cause dryness (less so than acid forms). The clip also names a glycolic (alpha-hydroxy) moisturizer as the most common anti-aging cream.

Then something of what's called a retinoid or retinol. Retinoic acid, retinaldehyde. We use a tretinol which is a strong form of vitamin A. So this is a vitamin A. Retinol and the alcohol forms of vitamin A are the most suitable for anti aging purposes. Very well tolerated. They do cause some drying but they not as likely to as a acid form which would be like retin a little too strong. And then glycolic moisturizer called alpha hydroxy acid. The most common anti aging cream that exists.
