Retinal 0.2% Emulsion High-Strength Retinoid Nighttime Treatment

This emulsion delivers 0.2% retinaldehyde, a retinoid form that converts to retinoic acid faster than standard retinol, in a cushioning base with hydroxyapatite and ginger root extract to help offset some of the irritation retinoids typically cause. It's meant for nighttime use on skin that already has some retinoid tolerance. Bisabolol and ergothioneine are included to calm and protect skin while the retinal works on texture and fine lines.
