Our Retinal Cream with the first 100% natural retinal is the perfect and at the same time gentlest introduction to well ageing care. Whether you are just discovering the first signs of skin ageing or are already in the midst of it: the regenerating cream effectively reduces lines and wrinkles and ensures a noticeably finer and softer skin texture without unnecessarily stressing your skin with the active ingredients. Thanks to its medium richness, it is quickly absorbed and leaves a pleasantly light protective film.

HOW THE RETINAL CREAM WORKS
We use the first retinal of biotechnological origin in our Retinal Cream. With a concentration of 0.05%, it is the ideal introduction to effective and well-tolerated vitamin A skincare. Retinal is the shortcut to your skin, as it only needs one conversion step to become retinoic acid in the skin. It stimulates the skin's own collagen synthesis and at the same time inhibits the enzyme responsible for collagen degradation. As a result, the collagen scaffold is gradually built up and lines and wrinkles are filled in and smoothed. Retinal also visibly refines the appearance of acne scars or coarse skin texture. Retinal has another positive side effect, particularly for skin prone to blemishes, as it regulates sebum production and counteracts clogged pores and spots. As a natural antioxidant, resveratrol stabilises the sensitive retinal, prevents light-induced skin ageing and also stimulates collagen synthesis. Soothing care is provided by cold-pressed organic argan oil with valuable lipids, which has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect.

YOUR ENTRY INTO SKINCARE WITH RETINAL
If you have no or only very limited experience with active vitamin A ingredients, we recommend that you start with just one Retinal product. Introduce the new active ingredient slowly so that your skin can get used to it. Give it at least 6 weeks, as our skin has a renewal cycle of 28 days. If you tolerate Retinal well during this time, you can also combine Retinal Cream and Retinal Sensitive Serum for maximum results. We do not recommend combining them with other retinol or retinal products, as you should always consider the total concentration you are adding to your skin.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RETINAL AND RETINOL?
Retinal is not a typo, but is actually more effective as a separate active ingredient than retinol. Retinol is first converted to retinal in the skin before it becomes the pure form of vitamin A. Retinal only requires a single conversion step for this. This makes it stronger and faster-acting than retinol and is also considered to be better tolerated, as less retinal than retinol is required for the same effect. This prevents the active ingredient from accumulating in the skin and causing irritation.

Notes
As this product makes the skin more sensitive to light, we strongly recommend that you use sun protection during the day. You should not apply more intensive serums and active ingredient ampoules one after the other, but separate the products from one another. This applies specifically to the use of AHA peeling, BHA peeling and vitamin C ampoules. 

We advise against using them during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
