Ritinal Skincare Products

What Makes Retinal So Powerful?

Retinal (retinaldehyde) is one of the most advanced and effective forms of vitamin A in skincare. It works quickly, penetrates deeply and delivers transformative visible results—helping smooth, firm and brighten the skin while supporting long-term skin health.

It’s the vitamin A choice for those wanting real results, faster.

The Benefits of Retinal for Your Skin

• Boosts collagen for firmer, lifted-looking skin
  
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother complexion
  
• Accelerates cell turnover to reveal fresh, radiant new skin
  
• Brightens uneven tone and helps fade dark spots
  
• Refines pores and minimises congestion
  
• Improves texture and clarity
  
• Supports a healthy skin barrier with more stable, effective vitamin A delivery
  
• Faster results than retinol, with less irritation for many users
  

Retinal vs Retinol: What’s the Difference?

Retinal and retinol are both vitamin A derivatives—but they act differently in the skin.

• Retinal is one conversion step away from retinoic acid, the active form your skin uses.
  
• Retinol requires two conversions, making it slower and often less potent.
  
• Retinal delivers results faster, offering improved firmness, brightness and wrinkle reduction in a shorter time.
  
• Gentler performance: Despite its strength, retinal is typically well-tolerated when formulated with hydrating, barrier-supporting ingredients.
  

In short: Retinal = faster, more effective results with less irritation for many people.
