Retinal 0.1

0.1% encapsulated retinaldehyde, for skin already adjusted

Load 5 of 5 · Heavy

Up to 2 nights a week

Once a week at the outside, and never in the same week you started something else new. Nothing else loaded on the same night.

A week has a budget of 12. At 5 a use, this is 2 uses a week if you run nothing else loaded. How the scale works.

The same encapsulated retinaldehyde system as Retinal 0.04, at two and a half times the strength. This is not a starting product and we would rather you did not buy it as one.

Load 5. At the weekly budget of 12 that is two nights a week, with nothing else loaded on either of them. Move up to this only after at least twelve weeks of comfortable three-nights-a-week use of Retinal 0.04.

If you are unsure whether you are ready for it, you are not. The lower strength used consistently outperforms the higher strength used erratically, and there is no cosmetic benefit to being sore.

How to use

  • Always follow with a moisturiser, and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

Cautions

  • Not for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
  • Not a first retinoid. Twelve weeks of comfortable Retinal 0.04 use comes first.
