The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion, a high-strength retinoid formula that rapidly firms, smooths, and rejuvenates your skin. With a 0.2% concentration of retinal, this serum targets dark spots, refines skin texture, and boosts luminosity for a brighter, more even-looking complexion. Suitable for all skin types, this serum is your key to a youthful and radiant skin transformation.

Why you need it

The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion has a high retinoid content, which instantly rejuvenates your skin by eliminating dark spots while giving an intense firming effect. With 0.2% concentration, this product is your ticket to a youthful complexion.

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is a very high strength retinoid formula that rapidly firms and smooths skin, while noticeably reducing the appearance of dark spots. It helps refine skin texture, while targeting uneven tone and boosting luminosity for brighter, more even-looking skin.

The serum-textured formula is suitable for all skin types, and is recommended for experienced users of retinoids. If you are new to using retinoids, we recommend exploring the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, or the Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, and progressing to higher strengths as your skin builds tolerance.

Retinal (also known as retinaldehyde) is a well-studied retinoid that offers more efficient delivery of the most direct form of vitamin A molecules than retinol, thanks to being 1 conversion step closer to the bioactive form of vitamin A.

With a high 0.2% concentration of retinal, Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is able to noticeably improve skin firmness and improve the look of lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion also contains synthetic oat analogues (specifically avenanthramide - a key beneficial component found in oats). This ingredient is known to help target skin discomfort and dryness, which are common concerns associated with retinoid use.

The bright yellow hue of the formula comes from the high concentration of retinal, which is naturally yellow. This may leave some residual colour on skin and light coloured fabrics, which can be minimised by allowing the product to fully absorb, and skin to dry before making contact with light-coloured fabrics. This residual colour can be removed by washing skin with water, and washing fabrics with your regular detergent according to their care instructions.

how to use

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry face and neck in the evening.
Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes.
Start with a weekly application and gradually increase to twice a week, a few days apart, as tolerated by your skin.
Apply a moisturiser afterwards.
Do not use with other retinoid products.

Patch testing prior to use is advised.
