From curious to confident
What makes retinal different from retinol?
Retinal is a vitamin A derivative that converts to retinoic acid in fewer steps than retinol. It’s used to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and dark spots.
What are the tiny orange capsules in the serum?
They’re part of the serum’s Retinal Capsule Complex. The capsules keep the retinal-containing oil phase encapsulated in the formula and disperse as you massage the serum into your skin.
Is this serum suitable for retinal beginners?
If you’re new to retinal, introduce it gradually and monitor how your skin responds. Start with less frequent use and increase only as tolerated. Patch testing is a good idea, especially for sensitive skin.
How often should I use this serum?
Follow the product directions and adjust use according to your skin’s tolerance. If you’re new to retinal, starting gradually can help your skin adapt.
Can I use this serum in the morning?
The product information you supplied indicates AM & PM use. If you use it during the day, finish your morning routine with broad-spectrum sunscreen and follow the product’s directions.
