Vitamin A in the form skin converts in a single step, carried in lecithin so it stays stable and releases gradually.
Renewing
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 — a named, branded peptide pair, not an unspecified blend.
Firming
Buffers the retinal and supports the barrier, so the dose can work without stinging or flaking.
Soothing
Vitamin B3, sixth in the ingredient list. Evens tone, refines the look of pores and calms redness while the retinal works.
ClarifyingHOW TO USE IT
A pea-sized amount across the face and neck after cleansing, avoiding the immediate eye area. Wash your hands afterwards. Night use only.
Every other night for the first two weeks. Once your skin has settled, move to every evening. If it stings or flakes, use less and less often — do not push through it.
Retinal leaves skin more sensitive to daylight. SPF 30 or higher every morning, without exception — otherwise you undo the work overnight.
Retinal is a commitment — a few weeks before you see much, and a routine you have to build up to. So the risk should not be yours. Every order comes with a free 30-day return.
WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
Chosen by people who want a change they can still see in three months, not a lift that fades by lunchtime:

BEFORE YOU BUY
Texture and glow usually shift first, somewhere around two to three weeks. Fine lines and firmness take longer, because retinal works by renewal rather than by coating the skin. Give it a full 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use before you judge it.
It may well be, but do not assume it. The 0.1% dose is buffered with 1% Panthenol specifically to reduce stinging and flaking — and the build-up schedule above exists for the same reason. Start at two nights a week, not nightly. If your skin is reactive, patch test on the jaw for a few nights first.
Not up to the lash line. Stay on the orbital bone — the skin inside that is too thin for a retinal at this strength. If the eye area is your main concern, the Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch is formulated for it.
That depends on how much you use and how often. A pea-sized amount covers the whole face and neck, and for the first fortnight you will only be using it two or three nights a week — so a tube goes further at the start than it does later.
Yes — on clean, dry skin, before your moisturiser. What to avoid is doubling up: do not use it on the same night as an exfoliating acid or a second vitamin A product.
Vitamin A derivatives are generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We would rather lose the sale than give you the wrong answer here — please ask your doctor, and leave this one on the shelf in the meantime.
