Besides being widely used in cosmetics, retinoids are potent therapeutic agents used topically and systemically as anti-acne agents. The aim of this study was to predict with the use of MetaSite the skin metabolism of selected retinoids employed in treatment of skin disorders and found in cosmeceuticals. The following compounds were studied: retinol, retinaldehyde, retinoic acid, retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, acitretin, etretinate, adapalene and bexarotene.
