If we had to stick to just one active anti-aging ingredient, it would probably be this one! Retinal is part of the retinoid family and is often compared to retinol. The latter is the main active ingredient in anti-wrinkle treatments, but it is not suitable for everyone because sensitive skin can have reactions after applying a retinol treatment. Reticulum works effectively on skin texture, blemishes and signs of aging thanks to its composition closest to vitamin A. It is therefore gentler and therefore more suitable for sensitive and reactive skin.
To reap the benefits of the retinal elixir of youth, we've found the perfect remedy!

How to apply it?
Retinal is a powerful active ingredient, incorporate it little by little into your beauty routine. Start by using once a week, then twice, then gradually increase the amount depending on your needs.
- In the evening, apply a small amount of the product to your clean, dry face and neck. Avoid the eye area.
- Apply moisturizer. Do not use other products containing retinoids.
- The next morning, apply moisturizer and use sunscreen during the day.
- Like other retinoids, retinoids cause photosensitivity, so don't forget to apply sunscreen.
