The Ordinary - Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Serum
0.2% Retinal Emulsion Serum
The Ordinary - Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Serum is a powerful facial skincare product designed to target signs of aging, strengthen the skin, smooth wrinkles, and improve firmness. The serum has been specially developed for experienced retinoid users and is ideal for an evening skincare routine. It is suitable for all skin types, including combination and oily skin. Thanks to its high concentration of retinoids, the serum visibly improves skin texture, makes the skin feel firmer, and reduces the appearance of both fine and deep wrinkles, including forehead lines, crow's feet, and other visible signs of aging.
Main product benefits
This product not only helps target wrinkles but also brightens dark spots, evens out skin tone, and restores a healthy, radiant appearance. The serum works to improve uneven skin tone, reduce the appearance of pigmentation caused by sun exposure, and help prevent the appearance of new dark spots. It is also important to note that the product is vegan and contains no animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for use on sensitive skin.
Active ingredients
The main active ingredient in the serum is retinaldehyde (0.2%), more commonly known as retinal. It is one of the most effective vitamin A derivatives and stimulates collagen and elastin production. Its properties provide a visible anti-aging effect, significantly reducing the appearance of wrinkles while improving skin firmness and elasticity. Retinal also actively targets pigmentation, helping to brighten dark spots and restore the skin's natural radiance.
Main effects of the product
- Anti-aging effect: visibly reduces the appearance of deep and fine wrinkles.
- Skin firming: makes the skin appear firmer and more elastic.
- Even skin tone: brightens dark spots and pigmentation.
- Restores radiance: promotes a healthy, fresh-looking complexion.
Who is it suitable for?
The Ordinary recommends this serum for all skin types, particularly for those with visible signs of aging or pigmentation. The product is suitable for mature skin as well as skin showing the first signs of aging. It should be noted that the serum is recommended for experienced retinoid users, as the high concentration of retinal may cause a reaction in sensitive skin. Those who are new to retinoids should start with products containing a lower concentration of the active ingredient, such as Granactive Retinoid 2% or Retinol 0.2% in Squalane.
How to use
Apply the serum in the evening to clean, dry skin on the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. It is recommended to begin with one application per week and gradually increase the frequency to twice a week, leaving several days between applications depending on how the skin responds. After applying the serum, always use a moisturizer. Important: do not use at the same time as other products containing retinoids. During the daytime, use a sunscreen with a high SPF.
Precautions
Perform an allergy test before first use. This will help avoid unwanted skin reactions. More detailed instructions on how to perform an allergy test can be found on the manufacturer's website.
