Retinaldehyde (Retinal) is a derivative of Vitamin A that is one step closer to Retinoic Acid (the active form that the skin can use) than Retinol. This means that Retinaldehyde acts faster and is more potent than Retinol, but, thanks to its stability and encapsulation, it is usually less irritating than pure retinoic acid or even some retinol formulations.
Sí, a pesar de su potencia, Retinaldehyde 0.2 está formulado para todo tipo de pieles, incluyendo las más sensibles. Su tecnología de encapsulación y la pureza del retinaldehído minimizan el potencial de irritación que a veces se asocia con los retinoides. Si tienes piel sensible, te recomendamos comenzar con una frecuencia baja (2-3 veces por semana) y aumentar gradualmente.
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 also directly combats the bacteria that cause acne, making it a powerful ally against imperfections.
Este sérum es fotosensible, por lo que debe aplicarse exclusivamente por la noche, sobre la piel limpia y seca del rostro, cuello y escote. Si eres nueva/o en el uso de retinoides, comienza aplicándolo 2-3 noches a la semana y ve aumentando la frecuencia a medida que tu piel desarrolle tolerancia.
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.
