MAIN FEATURES
Retinal is the molecule of the "big brother" Retinol, classified as the anti-aging superstar. While Retinol requires two metabolic conversion steps to reach the active form of retinoic acid (also known as tretinoin), Retinal is a direct precursor, and only needs one conversion step to reach the active form that is what it actually does. effect on skin cells. It is estimated that Retinal can be converted to retinoic acid up to 10 times faster than retinol itself, making Retinal an exceptionally effective member of the retinoid (Vitamin A) family.
Once converted, Retinal helps skin cells produce more collagen and other structural elements, making the skin younger, firmer and more elastic. It also accelerates the renewal process of the upper layers of the skin, making it smoother and more uniform. A-Game 5 is an essential product to treat aging intelligently, but it is also useful as an adjacent product to treat hyperpigmentation problems, as well as to help skin prone to acne and its consequent marks.
In terms of potency and insight, we compare our 0.05% retinal serum to the potency and effectiveness of a 0.5% retinol product but being potentially less irritable and with faster results.
