The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion 15ml

Title: The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion 15ml

Brand: The Ordinary

Description: The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion 15ml is a high-strength retinoid formula that rapidly firms and smooths the skin, while visibly reducing the appearance of dark spots.
It helps refine skin texture, target uneven tone, and boost luminosity for a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

The serum-like formula is suitable for all skin types and is recommended for experienced retinoid users.
If you are new to retinoids, we recommend starting with Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion or Retinol 0.2% in Squalane before moving on to higher concentrations as your skin builds tolerance.

Retinal (also known as retinaldehyde) is a well-studied retinoid that allows for a more efficient delivery of the most direct form of Vitamin A molecules than retinol, due to a conversion step closer to the bioactive form of Vitamin A.
With a high concentration of 0.2% retinal, the emulsion can visibly improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including crow's feet, expression lines, and forehead wrinkles.

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion also contains synthetic oat analogues (specifically avenanthramide, a key beneficial component of oats).
This ingredient helps to counteract the feeling of discomfort and skin dryness, common occurrences associated with retinoid use.

The formula's bright yellow tint comes from the high concentration of retinal, which is naturally yellow.
It may leave residual staining on the skin and light-colored fabrics, which can be minimized by allowing the product to fully absorb and letting the skin dry before coming into contact with light-colored fabrics.
This residual color can be removed by washing the skin with water and washing fabrics with your usual laundry detergent, according to care instructions.

Indications: Suitable for all skin types
