This is a complete list of ingredients on drug store pharmacy products. As you can see they do contain Retinyl Palmitate which acording to your research, it’s bad for your skin. I wouldnt use them. You should probably try Selleca, I’ve heard really good things about it.

The ingredients you list are not bad…looks ok for drugstore product. Product choice depends on what your wife is trying to accomplish..for more info contact me thru my website…I would love to help …
