🧴 The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion 15ml
✅ Product Description
The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is the brand’s strongest night treatment featuring stabilized retinal, designed to build firmer and smoother-looking skin.
This powerful retinoid formula rapidly targets visible signs of aging, improving the appearance of skin firmness, texture, and radiance while significantly reducing dark spots and uneven tone.
Suitable for all skin types in a lightweight serum-emulsion texture, this product is recommended for those who have prior experience with retinol or retinoid products.
⚠️If you are new to retinoids, it’s advisable to start with “Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion” or “Retinol 0.2% in Squalane” to help skin build tolerance before moving up to higher strengths like this formula.
✅ Key Ingredients and Benefits
• Retinal (Retinaldehyde)
Also known as retinaldehyde, retinal is one of the most research-proven retinoid actives, sitting just one step away from bioactive Vitamin A. It converts more efficiently than pure retinol, delivering visible anti-aging benefits faster and with greater potency.
At a 0.2% high concentration, it helps visibly improve skin firmness, tone, and the look of fine lines and wrinkles around areas like the eyes, forehead, and nasolabial folds.
• Avenanthramide
A synthetic oat-derived molecule included to help soothe discomfort or dryness that may occur when using potent retinoids like retinal.
• Color
The bright yellow hue of the emulsion is a natural result of the high concentration of pure retinal and not from artificial colorants.
This color can transfer onto skin or light-colored fabrics during application, so ensure the product is fully absorbed and dried before contact.
In case of staining, wash skin with water or follow fabric care instructions for stain removal.
✅ Selection Tips
• If you’re new to retinoids, start with “Retinol 0.2% in Squalane” for gentle introduction, and gradually move up to higher concentrations like “Retinol 0.5% in Squalane,” “Retinol 1% in Squalane,” or “Retinal 0.2% Emulsion.”
• For sensitive skin, “Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion” may be a suitable alternative for introducing retinoid technology gently.
✅ Usage Tips
• Q: When should I apply it?
→ A: Retinoids can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. Use at night, and apply sunscreen during the day.
• Q: Are there ingredients or products I should avoid while using this?
→ A: Avoid using other retinoids, AHA/BHA exfoliants, pure Vitamin C, or caffeine solutions in the same routine, as these combinations may cause excessive irritation or sensitivity.
If using multiple active products, separate them into morning and evening routines, or alternate their usage on different days.
✅ How to Use
Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, dry face and neck in the evening.
Start with once-a-week use, then gradually increase to twice weekly as your skin builds tolerance.
• Avoid the eye contour and mouth area.
• Follow with a moisturizer after applying the emulsion.
• Do not use other retinoids in the same routine.
• Always apply sunscreen the next morning after nighttime use.
• The airless pump bottle may require multiple pumps initially to dispense product; this is normal.
• Discontinue use and consult a physician if irritation occurs.
• Keep out of reach of children.
