The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion 15ml

About Retinal 0.2% Emulsion:

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is a powerful retinoid formulation designed to firm and smooth skin rapidly, reducing the look of dark spots and refining texture. With its high 0.2% retinal concentration, it effectively enhances skin's firmness and minimizes the appearance of fine lines, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.

Key Benefits:

• Brightening and Even Tone: Improves skin tone, luminosity, and texture for a visibly brighter, more even complexion.
• Advanced Retinoid Formula: Contains 0.2% retinal (retinaldehyde), a highly effective retinoid that requires fewer conversion steps to the bioactive form of vitamin A than traditional retinol, allowing for faster and more targeted results.
• Enhanced Comfort: Includes synthetic oat analogues, specifically avenanthramide, which help reduce potential discomfort or dryness often associated with retinoid use.
• Natural Hue: The product's bright yellow color comes from its retinal concentration. While it may leave a slight color on the skin, allowing full absorption before contact with light fabrics minimizes transfer. Any residual color on skin can be washed away with water, and fabrics can be cleaned as usual.

Usage Recommendations: Ideal for experienced retinoid users, this emulsion is suitable for all skin types. If you're new to retinoids, we recommend starting with lower-strength options, such as the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion or Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, to build skin tolerance.

Pump Priming Instructions: This emulsion is packaged in an airless pump. If the product does not dispense after 10 pumps, simply turn the bottle upside down and tap the cap end firmly on a hard surface a few times to prime the pump.
