It helps refine skin texture, while targeting uneven tone and boosting luminosity for brighter, more even-looking skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a high 0.2% concentration of retinal, Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is able to noticeably improve skin firmness and improve the look of lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The serum-textured formula is suitable for all skin types, and is recommended for experienced users of retinoids. If you are new to using retinoids, we recommend exploring the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, or the Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, and progressing to higher strengths as your skin builds tolerance.

This ingredient is known to help target skin discomfort and dryness, which are common concerns associated with retinoid use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bright yellow hue of the formula comes from the high concentration of retinal, which is naturally yellow. This may leave some residual colour on skin and light coloured fabrics, which can be minimised by allowing the product to fully absorb, and skin to dry before making contact with light-coloured fabrics. This residual colour can be removed by washing skin with water, and washing fabrics with your regular detergent according to their care instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product uses an airless pump, which can sometimes require priming before the product will dispense on first use.
