Frequently Asked Questions

What is retinal and how does it work?

Retinal (retinaldehyde) is a potent retinoid that converts to active retinoic acid faster than retinol, supporting cell renewal to smooth fine lines, refine texture and firm skin, often with quicker results.

What's the difference between retinal and retinol?

Retinal is one step closer to active retinoic acid than retinol, so it can work faster and stronger. Retinol is gentler and a great starting point for beginners.

How do I start using retinal?

Start slowly — once or twice a week at night — and build up gradually as your skin adjusts. Apply to dry skin, follow with moisturizer, and use sunscreen daily.

Can retinal cause irritation?

Like other retinoids, retinal can cause dryness or redness at first, especially if used too often. Build up gradually and pair it with soothing, hydrating products.

Is retinal good for beginners?

Retinal is more potent than retinol, so beginners may prefer to start with retinol first. If starting with retinal, choose a lower concentration and use it sparingly.
