Why we stand behind it
Retinal Night Cream combines many innovative and advanced regenerative active ingredients including B-Vitamins, Resveratrol, Lactic Acid and Willow bark to help repair skin damage, restructure, improve clarity and boost skin density while increasing moisture and elasticity.
Powered by Retinaldehyde (retinal for short) - an encapsulated and ultra stabilized bio-active form of Vitamin A that gradually and effectively converts to retinoic acid in the skin. Retinaldehyde is far less irritating compared to other retinoids and is known to have strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory andantibacterial properties. Retinaldehyde boosts and protects collagen, increases cell turnover and enhances barrier function. Cream strength: for an intermediate - advanced retinoid user.
Key ingredients
0.2% Retinaldehyde: Advanced strength, most potent, effective retinoid results. Boosts and protects collagen; increases cell turnover and enhances barrier function.
Glutaminated Peptides: Repairing and regenerating; reinforces the barrier function of the skin.
Azelaic Acid: Treats skin conditions like rosacea, hyperpigmentation, melasma and acne.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.
