Benefits 

Targeted Anti-Aging & Wrinkle Smoothing: Formulated with 0.1% Retinal (Retinaldehyde), an advanced Vitamin A derivative that works up to 11x faster than standard retinol to accelerate cell turnover, smooth out fine lines, and firm the skin.   

Enhanced Elasticity & Firming: Fortified with ginseng-derived PDRN, EGF, and NMN, which stimulate tissue repair, boost collagen production, and restore skin bounce and density.   

Texture & Tone Refinement: Smoothes out rough patches, clears congested pores, and fades hyperpigmentation/dark spots to create a clearer, more even-toned complexion.   

Deep Delivery with Low Irritation: Uses nano-liposome encapsulation technology to deliver the active retinal deeply and evenly into the skin without triggering the severe redness, peeling, or dryness typical of high-potency retinoids.   

Barrier Protection & Hydration: Contains Niacinamide, Ceramides, and Peptides to strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture while you sleep.

Recommended Skin Types 

Mature & Aging Skin: Ideal for skin experiencing a decline in elasticity, firmer density loss, and visible fine lines or static wrinkles.   

Normal to Combination Skin: Tolerates the rich cream texture well while balancing texture-refining benefits.   

Dry & Barrier-Compromised Skin: Benefits from the inclusion of 5 types of ceramides, peptides, and panthenol to cushion the potency of retinal.   

Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: Retinal speeds up cellular turnover, helping keep pores clear and preventing congestion (though spot testing is recommended if prone to fungal acne, as it contains lipid-rich emollients).   

Caution for Sensitive Skin & Retinoid Beginners: 0.1% retinal is a concentrated, advanced-level strength. Beginners should start with lower strengths or introduce this formula gradually (1–2 times per week) to prevent purging, flaking, or redness.

Active Ingredients 

0.1% Retinal (Retinaldehyde): Formulated as a nano-liposome, retinal converts to retinoic acid 11× faster than standard retinol. It speeds up cellular turnover, boosts collagen synthesis, reduces fine lines, and smooths overall skin texture with less risk of irritation.   

Ginseng-Derived PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide / Sodium DNA): Promotes skin cell regeneration, supports firmness, and accelerates tissue repair.   

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Brightens hyperpigmentation, helps regulate sebum production, and reinforces the skin barrier.

EGF & Peptide Complex: Includes Epidermal Growth Factor (sh-Oligopeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-1, etc.) along with multiple peptide chains (like Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Copper Tripeptide-1) to boost elasticity, target expression lines, and plump the skin.   

NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide): A cellular energy precursor that provides antioxidant protection and helps maintain skin vitality.   

5-Ceramide Complex & Phytosphingosine: Restores structural lipids in the moisture barrier to lock in hydration and prevent dryness during retinal use.

Centella Asiatica Extract & Soothing Agents: Contains Cica derivatives (Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid), Allantoin, and Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) to soothe irritation, reduce redness, and keep skin comfortable.

How to Use

Nighttime only. Retinal breaks down in UV light and increases skin sensitivity to the sun.   

Order: Use at the final step of your evening skincare routine (after cleansing, toning, and light hydrating serums).   

Amount: Use a pea-sized amount for your entire face, or apply a small pin drop directly onto specific areas of concern (such as fine lines, forehead, or smile lines).   

Technique: Gently spread along the texture of your skin, then press softly with your palms to aid absorption. Avoid direct application on sensitive areas like the inner eye corners, upper eyelids, and lip margins.   

Frequency & Acclimatization

Weeks 1–2: Apply 2 nights per week (e.g., Monday and Thursday).

Weeks 3–4: Increase to every other night if you experience no redness, peeling, or stinging.

Week 5+: Move to nightly use as tolerated.

Tip for Sensitive Skin (The Sandwich Method): If your skin feels tight or dry, apply a light hydrating moisturizer first, let it absorb, apply the Retinal PRO Cream 0.1, and follow with another layer of moisturizer to buffer the active ingredients.   

Key Precautions

Wear Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen (SPF 30+): Always apply sunscreen the following morning, as retinoids cause increased sun sensitivity.   

What to Avoid: Do not mix in the same evening with strong chemical exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs, PHAs), high-dose Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), or physical scrubs. Keep those for alternating nights or morning use.   

Avoid Patch Conflicts: Do not use alongside microneedling treatments (such as VT Reedle Shot high-strength formulations) on the same night unless your skin barrier is fully resilient.

Precautions

Before use, perform a patch test on the back of your hand to check for possible allergic reactions. Keep out of reach of children, away from direct sunlight, at room temperature. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with water. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
