Product Name: Retinal 0.2% Emulsion

Size: 15ml

Product Overview:
The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is a potent anti-aging serum designed to target fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture 🌟. Retinal, also known as retinaldehyde, is a derivative of Vitamin A and is one of the most potent forms of retinoids available in over-the-counter skincare. It works faster than retinol in improving skin appearance and providing visible results, but it is still gentle enough for most skin types when used correctly. This formulation delivers Retinal in a light, emulsion base, making it easy to incorporate into your nighttime skincare routine.

Key Ingredients:

  • Retinal (Retinaldehyde) 0.2%:

    • A powerful form of Vitamin A that accelerates skin cell turnover, promoting a smoother, more even skin texture 🌿.
    • Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation by boosting collagen production and improving skin elasticity.
    • Known for being more effective and faster-acting than traditional retinol while maintaining a lower risk of irritation.
  • Squalane:

    • A plant-derived emollient that hydrates and soothes the skin, helping to minimize any potential dryness or irritation caused by retinoids πŸ’§.
    • Helps to restore the skin's natural moisture barrier, leaving the skin soft and supple.

Texture and Formulation:
This serum has a lightweight, emulsion-like texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue ✨. The formulation is designed to be used in the evening as part of your nighttime skincare routine, delivering powerful anti-aging benefits while you sleep.

Benefits:

  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Retinal accelerates skin cell turnover, helping to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance 🌟.
  • Improves Skin Texture: Regular use promotes a more even skin tone and refined texture, reducing the appearance of rough patches and hyperpigmentation 🌿.
  • Fast-Acting: Retinal works more quickly than traditional retinol, providing visible results in a shorter timeframe while still being gentle on the skin.
  • Hydrating: Squalane helps to maintain hydration and soothe the skin, minimizing potential dryness or irritation associated with retinoids πŸ’§.
  • Non-Irritating: The low concentration of Retinal makes this serum suitable for most skin types, including those new to retinoids, while still delivering effective results.

How to Use:

  1. Apply a small amount to your face in the evening after cleansing and toning πŸ•’.
  2. Gently massage into the skin until fully absorbed.
  3. Follow with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration.
  4. Start with 2-3 times a week and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
  5. Always use sunscreen during the day when using retinoids, as they can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight 🌞.

Recommended For:

  • Individuals looking to address signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture 🌿.
  • Those seeking a fast-acting retinoid treatment that provides visible results while being gentle on the skin 🌟.
  • People new to retinoids or those with sensitive skin who want to start with a lower concentration of Retinal πŸ’§.
  • Suitable for most skin types, particularly those looking for a potent yet tolerable anti-aging solution.
