Skintegra, Retiron 0.5 Serum Emulsion, 30ml, 0.05% Retinal

Retiron 0.05 prevents the appearance of comedones and pimples and accelerates their healing with a preventive effect on premature signs of aging. 

Retinal (or retinaldehyde) is a precursor of retinoic acid (vitamin A) which has clinically proven multiple effects on acne and premature aging of the skin. It is the strongest retinoid available over the counter, and it works even 11x faster than retinol. The encapsulated form of retinal (which means that the active ingredient is in the sheath and is activated only in contact with the skin) enables slow release of the active ingredient with fewer side effects and maximum preservation of its effectiveness.

With continued use of Retiron 0.05, you can expect fewer discolorations (hyperpigmentation and those left behind by pimples), fewer acne and comedones, tighter, firmer skin, reduced wrinkle depth, narrowed pores, and a smoother texture.

Retiron 0.05 is additionally strengthened with a combination of ingredients that restores the barrier function and provides a supporting effect to the retina in a way that further reduces the irritating potential of the product. Niacinamide, three essential ceramides and their precursors and panthenol reduce irritation and preserve barrier function, while at the same time madecasoside, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E hydrate, prevent drying of the skin and provide antioxidant protection.

In addition, herbal extracts of bloodroot and cloudberry have a strong anti-inflammatory and soothing effect and contain omega fatty acids that further strengthen the skin's barrier function, helping it retain moisture and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

The hydrating texture of the serum emulsion is quickly absorbed into the skin, and can be used alone or combined with hydrating serums, neutral nourishing creams, and oil boosters, depending on skin type. 

“Retinization”

When introducing retinal into your skincare routine, you may experience a temporary adaptation process to the ingredient that lasts 3-4 weeks. Namely, retinoids treat the skin by increasing the dynamics of cell turnover to prevent the appearance of (micro)comedones that precede inflammatory acne, but also have a reparative and preventive effect on visible signs of aging (hyperpigmentation, wrinkles). Their action can temporarily result in peeling, irritation and acne, so we recommend starting with using the product twice a week.

How to use

Apply the emulsion in a thin layer to cleansed and dried skin. Initially use up to twice a week, then gradually accustom the skin to more frequent use. Given the self-suppressive effect of retinoids, it is advisable to additionally moisturize the skin with a mild, neutral preparation if it shows signs of dryness. Use high UV protection during the day. Do not use on damaged skin. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
