Retinal (also known as retinaldehyde) is a well-studied retinoid that provides more effective delivery of the direct form of vitamin A molecules than retinol, thanks to being one step closer in the conversion process to the biologically active form of vitamin A.

Retinal Emulsion 0.2% also contains synthetic oat analogs (specifically avenanthramide, a beneficial essential ingredient found in oats). This ingredient is known for its ability to treat dryness and skin discomfort, two common issues associated with retinol use.

The bright yellow color of the formula comes from the high concentration of retinal, a natural yellow. This may leave some residual color on skin and light-colored fabrics, which can be minimized by allowing the product to fully absorb and dry the skin before coming into contact with light-colored fabrics. This residual color can be removed by washing the leather with water, and the fabrics with your usual detergent according to the care instructions.

This product uses a vacuum pump and may sometimes require priming before dispensing the product on first use. If the pump does not dispense product after 10 pumps, turn the product over and tap the end of the cap firmly on a hard surface several times.
