0.1% Retinal Face Cream Dermomedica Retinolic 0.1% Retinal Cream

Anti-aging cream designed for sensitive, highly vascularized skin prone to telangiectasia, irritated skin, during rosacea, and severe inflammatory acne, without causing skin irritation. The main active ingredient of the cream is retinal in a high concentration. Retinal is an active form of vitamin A, which transforms into retinoic acid after penetrating the stratum corneum.

Retinal – a retinoid that stimulates the renewal and reconstruction of the dermis, improving the density and contour of the face. This form of vitamin A is much better tolerated than retinol, with a more potent active effect, hence it is present in a small dose. Retinal is also used as a substitute for retinol in spring-summer periods, especially for hyperpigmentation and acne – acting as a staphylococcus bacteria and Candida yeast inhibitor. It does not irritate the skin nor causes retinoid reaction. Directly affects skin vascularization and the activity of sebaceous glands, bringing impressive effects in treating rosacea and vulgar acne, further enhanced by niacinamide.

Niacinamide, used in the cream at a 1% concentration, is referred to as a natural antibiotic, soothing inflammation, severe redness, and gradually lightening discoloration. The rejuvenating effect is boosted by the plant equivalent of retinol - bakuchiol, which suppresses the activity of collagenase, thereby increasing skin elasticity, and acts as an inhibitor of Cutibacterium Acnes, Staphylococcus, and Candida yeast.

The cosmeceutical also contains vitamin E and resveratrol with anti-radical properties. Resveratrol is an advanced antioxidant ingredient that extends cell life and inhibits glycation processes, making the skin more firm and elastic. Resveratrol supports the skin in hormonal imbalances, having a structure similar to estrogens.
