Retinaldehyde or Retinal (RETINAL) is a precursor of retinoic acid, an intermediate metabolite produced in the transfor-mation of retinol into retinoic acid in human keratinocytes. Retinal is metabolised to retinoic acid in the skin, as well as to retinol and retinyl esters (which usually diminish during photo-aging) and are indicated for use in the treatment of aging signs that require quicker results than those offered by other retinoids used in cosmetics.
Stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid
Acts as an antioxidant and cell regenerator
Minimises pore size and prevents hyperkeratinisation
