Retinal 0.2% Emulsion – Advanced Retinoid for Firm, Even, Radiant Skin
Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is The Ordinary's highest-strength retinoid formula, expertly formulated with stabilised retinaldehyde for advanced age-support benefits. Ideal for nighttime use, this powerful serum-textured formulation is recommended for experienced retinoid users seeking faster, more noticeable results.
Retinal (retinaldehyde) is one conversion step closer to active vitamin A than retinol, allowing for more efficient results. At a high 0.2% concentration, this formula works to:
- Visibly firm and smooth the skin
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles, including crow’s feet and frown lines
- Refine uneven skin texture
- Fade dark spots and improve discolouration
- Enhance skin luminosity for a brighter, more even-looking complexion
This formula also includes synthetic oat analogues, particularly avenanthramide, which helps to soothe and calm the skin, minimising the common dryness and discomfort associated with potent retinoids.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Maximum-strength retinal for visible anti-ageing results
- Improves firmness, texture and uneven skin tone
- Includes soothing ingredients to reduce irritation
- Brightens and refines the complexion
- Suitable for all skin types – best for experienced retinoid users
Note: The formula’s yellow tint comes from the natural colour of retinal and may temporarily stain light fabrics. Let the product absorb fully before contact with clothing or bedding.
If you're new to retinoids, we recommend starting with The Ordinary’s Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion or Retinol 0.2% in Squalane to build your skin’s tolerance.
Uncover smoother, firmer, more radiant skin with Retinal 0.2% Emulsion – your new night-time skincare essential.
