Retinaldehyde is transformed into retinoic acid and activates cellular retinoid acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP-II). A CRABP-II expression following RAL/BAK/VAE treatment. Untreated UV-exposed skin, black bars; RAL/BAK/VAE-treated UV-exposed skin, blue bars; placebo-treated UV-exposed skin, green bars. B CRABP-II expression following 3RC treatment. Untreated UV-exposed skin, black bars; 3RC-treated UV-exposed skin, blue bars; placebo-treated UV-exposed skin, green bars. Graphs show the mean area of CRABP-II expression [± standard error of the mean (SEM)] in 12 independent images per condition. **p < 0.01 versus untreated UV-exposed skin. The black scale bar represents 50 μm
