Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is retinal?
Retinal (retinaldehyde) is a form of vitamin A — the same family as retinol, just one step further along. Your skin converts whatever vitamin A you apply into retinoic acid, the active form it can actually use. Retinol needs two conversions to get there; retinal needs only one. That single-step advantage is why it can work sooner, at a gentler strength.
Is retinal harsher than retinol?
No — and that surprises people. Because it's closer to the active form, it's effective at lower concentrations, so you get the benefit without pushing your skin as hard. Our formula pairs it with Centella Asiatica and niacinamide to keep skin calm and comfortable.
Will it work for sensitive skin?
Most sensitive skin types get on well with it, thanks to the low-and-slow approach and the soothing Centella and niacinamide base. If your skin is very reactive, start every other evening for the first week, then build up to nightly. Always patch-test first.
Can I really use it on stretch marks?
Yes — that's what it's made for. It supports your skin's natural renewal to soften the look of marks and refine uneven texture over time. Newer, pinker or reddish marks tend to respond best; older silvery ones improve more gradually.
How long before I see results?
Skin renews on roughly a four-week cycle, so most people notice smoother, more even-looking skin from around week four to six, with continued improvement the longer you use it. Consistency beats intensity — nightly use is what makes the difference.
When should I use it in my routine?
In the evening, on clean, dry skin, before your moisturiser. Vitamin A is best used at night, and always follow with SPF the next morning — retinal makes skin more sun-sensitive.
Can I use it with my other skincare?
Yes, with a little care. It layers well with hydrating and soothing ingredients. Avoid using it in the same routine as strong exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) or vitamin C to keep irritation at bay — alternate them across different evenings instead.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We'd advise against it. Vitamin A derivatives aren't generally recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so please check with your doctor or midwife before use, and pick it back up once you're ready.
Will it make my skin peel or purge?
It shouldn't. This is a gentle, encapsulated retinal designed to renew without the flaking, peeling or purging that harsher retinoids can trigger. If you're new to vitamin A, easing in over the first couple of weeks keeps things comfortable.
