Step 2: Treat
Looking for advanced anti-aging support? Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is our strongest retinoid formula, designed to firm, smooth, and brighten your skin, all while reducing the appearance of dark spots. This formula is perfect for nighttime use and helps tackle uneven skin texture, tone, and signs of aging.
What It Targets:
- Signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles)
- Uneven skin tone
- Textural irregularities
Who It’s For: Suitable for all skin types, especially for those already familiar with retinoids.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinaldehyde (Retinal): A powerful retinoid that firms and smooths skin, helping to reduce lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone.
- Synthetic Oat Analogues: These help soothe skin discomfort and dryness, which can often accompany retinoid use.
How It Works: With a high concentration of 0.2% retinal, this emulsion helps you achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin by smoothing texture and reducing wrinkles, including common areas like crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. It also brightens your complexion, giving you a more radiant, even-toned look.
Tips for Use: If you're new to retinoids, it’s a good idea to start with lower-strength options like Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion or Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, and work your way up as your skin builds tolerance. You can explore our Retinoid Guide for more details.
Good to Know:
- Retinal is a more efficient form of vitamin A than retinol, delivering faster results.
- The yellow tint of the product comes from the high concentration of retinal, which might leave a slight color residue on your skin and light fabrics. To avoid this, make sure the product is fully absorbed and dry before contact with light-colored clothing. Any residue can be easily washed off.
Packaging Tip: This product comes in an airless pump. If it doesn’t dispense after the first 10 pumps, try turning it upside down and tapping the cap end on a hard surface.
