Description

Retinal, also known as retinaldehyde, is a potent retinoid that sits just one conversion step away from retinoic acid, the active form of vitamin A in the skin. This means it works faster and more efficiently than retinol, delivering visible anti-aging results. It helps reduce wrinkles, improves skin texture and elasticity, and promotes smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin. It is generally better tolerated than retinoic acid, making it an ideal choice for those seeking powerful results with less irritation.
