El Retinaldehído (Retinal) es un derivado de la Vitamina A que se encuentra un paso más cerca del Ácido Retinoico (la forma activa que la piel puede utilizar) que el Retinol. Esto significa que Retinaldehído actúa más rápido y es más potente que el Retinol, pero, gracias a su estabilidad y la encapsulación, suele ser menos irritante que el ácido retinoico puro o incluso que algunas formulaciones de retinol.
Yes, despite its potency, Retinaldehyde 0.2 is formulated for all skin types, including the most sensitive ones. Its encapsulation technology and the purity of retinaldehyde minimize the potential for irritation that is sometimes associated with retinoids. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend starting with a low frequency (2-3 times a week) and gradually increasing.
Retinaldehyde is the only retinoid with direct antibacterial properties. This makes it exceptionally effective for acne-prone skin, as it not only helps accelerate cell renewal and unclog pores (reducing breakouts), but it also directly fights the bacteria that cause acne, making it a powerful ally against imperfections.
This serum is photosensitive, so it should be applied exclusively at night, on clean and dry skin of the face, neck, and décolleté. If you are new to using retinoids, start by applying it 2-3 nights a week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin develops tolerance.
Yes, it is absolutely essential. The use of retinoids, including Retinaldehyde, increases the skin's sensitivity to the sun and makes it more susceptible to burns and sun damage. To protect your skin and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning, regardless of the weather, and reapply throughout the day if necessary.
