RetinAL Skin (RST)
Sizes: 1 fl oz / 30 mL
Stronger than retinol, but much better tolerated. We refused to compromise when selecting a potent yet gentle solution for your daily retinoid needs. RetinAL (retinaldehyde) emerged as the clear choice, surpassing all retinols in strength while maintaining exceptional tolerance on the skin with less dryness and irritation. With its impressive effectiveness, working approximately 11 times faster and up to 20 times more potent than retinol, it's a must-have in your skincare arsenal. We prioritize efficacy and rest assured, when it comes to delivering the results you deserve, we never settle.
Five Benefits of RetinAL Skin (RST):
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines + wrinkles by increasing collagen production
- Improves skin tone + texture for smoother, firmer looking skin
- Aids in fading sun spots + smoothing out rough patches on the skin
- Increases cellular turnover, which can minimize breakouts
- Stimulates production of new blood vessels on the skin, which improves the color of the skin
*Not recommended if pregnant.

At night, apply 1-3 pumps to your face, neck, and chest before any moisturizer and/or facial oil.
Work into your routine by using three nights a week on alternating days and gradually increasing to 5-7 nights per week.
