Many retinoids promise smoother-looking skin but often come with irritation. For melanin-rich and melanin-active skin, irritation can sometimes lead to the appearance of lingering dark marks that last longer than the concern you were trying to treat.
Our formula features 0.05% encapsulated retinaldehyde, a next-generation vitamin A derivative designed to support visible skin renewal while helping minimize the look of irritation. Encapsulation allows for a gradual release, making the formula gentler on the skin.
To further support comfort and barrier health, we've combined retinal with squalane, shea butter, and niacinamide. Together, they help nourish the skin, maintain hydration, and promote a smoother, more refined appearance over time.
Retinal is a long-term commitment, not a quick fix. Consistent use helps improve the appearance of texture, uneven-looking skin, and fine lines while supporting healthier-looking skin.
