The Dermafactory Retinal 300 ppm Cream

Product name The Dermafactory Retinal 300 ppm Cream Size / Quantity: 30 mL, 1 unit What it is Type: Topical cream containing retinal (retinaldehyde) as the active ingredient at 300 ppm concentration. Purpose: Anti‑aging, skin texture improvement, and mild resurfacing through increased cell turnover and stimulation of collagen production. Key active ingredient Retinal (retinaldehyde) — 300 ppm Retinal is a vitamin A derivative (a retinoid) that converts to retinoic acid in the skin, producing effects similar to retinoids used for wrinkle reduction and skin renewal. It is generally more potent than retinol but less irritating than topical tretinoin (prescription retinoic acid), making it a useful intermediate option for users seeking effective results with manageable irritation. Expected benefits Improves fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen synthesis. Refines skin texture and pore appearance via accelerated cell turnover. May help lighten post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation and even skin tone over time. Supports overall skin renewal and clarity with consistent use. Likely supporting ingredients (typical in retinal creams) Humectants: glycerin, hyaluronic acid — to retain moisture. Emollients / occlusives: to reduce dryness and improve skin feel. Soothing agents: panthenol, allantoin, centella asiatica (madecassoside), etc., to mitigate irritation. Preservatives and stabilizers: to ensure shelf life and product safety.

How to use (recommended routine) Patch test first: Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area for 48 hours if you have sensitive skin. Start slowly: Begin with 1–3 nights per week, then gradually increase frequency as your skin tolerates it. Night use only: Apply in the evening after cleansing and lightweight serums, before a richer moisturizer if needed. Some formulations are designed to be the final moisturizing step — follow the product instructions if available. Small amount: Use a pea‑sized amount for the face; avoid eyelids and the immediate eye/lip lines. Sunscreen mandatory: Use broad‑spectrum SPF 30+ every morning while using retinal products, since retinoids increase photosensitivity. Avoid combining immediately with strong exfoliants: Give spacing (alternate nights) between retinal and high‑strength AHA/BHA, benzoyl peroxide, or prescription tretinoin to reduce over‑irritation.
