The Ordinay Retinols Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Serum Facial Serum - 15 ml

The most potent retinoid formula with stabilized retinaldehyde for use in advanced age, optimal for nighttime use.

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is a highly effective retinoid formula that quickly firms and smooths skin while visibly reducing age spots. It helps refine skin texture, counteracts uneven skin tone, and improves skin radiance.

The serum is suitable for all skin types and is recommended for experienced retinoid users. For first-time retinoid users, we recommend trying the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion or Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, and progressing to higher concentrations as your skin becomes more tolerant.

Retinal (also known as retinaldehyde) is a well-studied retinoid that provides a more efficient delivery of the most direct form of vitamin A molecules than retinol, as it is closer to the bioactive form of vitamin A.

With a high concentration of 0.2% retinal, Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is able to noticeably improve skin firmness and improve the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles, such as crow's feet, frown lines and forehead wrinkles.

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion also contains synthetic oat analogues (particularly avenanthramide, a key component of oats). This ingredient is known to help with skin discomfort and dryness commonly associated with retinoid use.

The formula's bright yellow hue is due to the high concentration of retinal, which is naturally yellow. This may leave some residual color on skin and light-colored fabrics. This can be minimized by allowing the product to fully absorb and allowing the skin to dry before contact with light-colored fabrics. This color residue can be removed by washing the skin with water and washing fabrics with your regular detergent according to the care instructions.
