Description

0.1% Retinal Cream is an advanced product using retinal in hydroxysomes, for better stability and effectiveness. Dedicated to retinoid-hardened skin that struggles with acne vulgaris, rosacea or signs of ageing. Formulated for an intense yet subtle anti-acne action, with simultaneous thickening and tightening effects. When comparing its effectiveness, the product competes well with professional dermatological preparations, but without irritating or sensitising the skin.

Benefits

  • Reduction of acne lesions: retinal and niacinamide, effectively prevent the formation of blackheads and other acne lesions.
  • Firming and levelling photodamage: retinal helps remove accumulated damage from the skin caused by daily UV exposure.
  • Lightening hyperpigmentation: retinal and tranexamic acid act synergistically in the treatment of lightening hyperpigmentation of post-sun, hormonal and post-inflammatory origin.
  • Wrinkle reduction: retinal and bacuchiol contribute to smoothing the skin, shrinking pores and eliminating wrinkles through collagen stimulation.
  • Anti-inflammatory action: bacuchiol and niacinamide promote the reduction of inflammation, soothing redness.

Active ingredients

  • Retinal in hydroxysomes 0.1% – is a specialised formulation that combines retinal (retinaldehyde) with a carrier system. Hydroxysomes are advanced absorption promoters that allow retinal to be efficiently absorbed through the skin and increase its bioavailability by up to 400%. Through the use of hydroxysomes, retinal is released in a controlled manner, which promotes a longer-lasting effect on the skin and less loss of the ingredient. Retinaldehyde is a direct precursor to retinoic acid, which provides the same therapeutic benefits as retinoic acid, better than retinol, while eliminating skin irritation. It is ideal for the treatment of sensitive skin with concurrent acne vulgaris, adult acne, rosacea and photo-ageing.
  • Bakuchiol 1% – is a natural, plant-based equivalent of retinoids, as well as a substance that increases their bioavailability. Bacuchiol stimulates collagen synthesis, acting on similar pathways as retinoic acid. Research suggests that it can increase the production of type I and III collagen, helping to smooth wrinkles and improve skin texture.
  • Tranexamic acid 1% – affects the production of cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is involved in inflammatory responses. The reduction of inflammatory messengers leads to a reduction in the symptoms of inflammation and skin irritation, which is very useful when using retinoids.
  • Niacinamide 0.5% – its action is based on the regulation of sebum secretion, anti-inflammatory properties, improvement of hydration and stimulation of collagen synthesis. In addition, niacinamide has a brightening effect on hyperpigmentation and protection against oxidative stress, making it an effective ingredient in skin care routines for a variety of skin types and problems.

Direction for use

Daily night application: Apply the cream, avoiding the eye area, to cleansed skin on the face, neck and décolleté, then gently massage in to promote deep absorption. Wash hands after application.
Synergistic use: To maximise the effect, always apply a high quality zinc oxide UV filter with a minimum of SPF 30-50 during the day to ensure comprehensive protection and proper metabolism of retinal in the skin.

Recommended frequency: Start by applying 2-3 times a week, then gradually increase the frequency of application. The treatment may cause peeling, irritation or eczema from irritation in the first 2-3 weeks, but this is normal and disappears quickly. If these symptoms occur, increase the interval between applications.

The cream can be used in summer if mineral-based photoprotective preparations are used.

If tolerance has been developed (no peeling or redness), the preparation does not need to be discontinued during professional cosmetology, aesthetic medicine or laser therapy. Treatment with external retinoids (if there are no contraindications) should last continuously: 18-24 months.

CAUTION:
Do not use during pregnancy (product can be used during lactation).

For

Skin type: dry, normal, combination, oily.

Skin problems: acne vulgaris, adult acne, rosacea, telangiectasias, capillaries, hyperpigmentation, photoageing, wrinkles, product recommended after isotretinoin treatment to maintain its effectiveness.

Research and efficacy

Retinal, or retinaldehyde, is an intermediate form of vitamin A that acts on retinoid receptors, but has a faster and more direct effect because it directly converts to retinoic acid. This makes retinal often considered more effective and faster acting. Retinal has a stronger anti-ageing effect compared to retinol because it benefits from direct conversion to retinoic acid, which allows for faster and more visible results, such as improved texture and smoother wrinkles. Retinal is often better tolerated by those with sensitive skin. It can cause less irritation, making it a beneficial alternative for those who cannot use higher concentrations of retinoic acid or retinol. In a comparative study, the concentrations of retinol and retinal are key to achieving the desired effects. Both ingredients can be used at different concentrations, but retinal can be effective at lower concentrations due to its bioactivity.
