Retinol & Retinal

The gold standard for refined texture and a youthful glow.

What it is

Retinol and retinal are vitamin A derivatives that support natural cell turnover. K-beauty formulations often pair these active ingredients with soothing botanicals like cica or panthenol to help minimize the look of irritation while promoting a smoother, firmer, and more even-toned appearance.

Best forImproving the look of fine linesSoftening rough skin texturePromoting a brighter, more even complexion

How to use

Introduce slowly into your evening routine, starting two to three times a week. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin before your moisturizer. Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen the next morning.

Watch out

Do not combine with exfoliating acids like AHAs or BHAs in the same application to prevent the feel of sensitivity. Discontinue use if your skin barrier feels compromised.
