What is Retinal? For who?

  • Retinaldehyde, also known as retinal, is a biologically active derivative of vitamin A. It be-longs to the retinoid family, the best documented substances for slowing skin aging.
  • It is an intermediate form between retinol and retinoic acid and needs only 1 transformation in the skin to retinoic acid - which means faster action, less waste and, due to the slow release techno-logy used in Ph.Doctor products, less irritation compared to other retinoids.
  • Retinoids have a proven effect on the cell nucleus, so they are able to awaken the skin by binding to its receptors.
  • They are substances that affect all aging processes, including increasing collagen pro-duction, but also stopping collagen degradation after the age of 25. They undo some of the visual si-gns of aging caused by exposure to UV radiation known as photoaging.
  • With retinoids, the most important thing is to gradually build TOLERANCE.
  • At first, some people may experience temporary skin irritation (not everyone). The formula-tion of Our products is composed to minimize such risk. It is temporary and passes as tolerance to the ingredient builds. Don't be discouraged!
  • Retinoids are extensively studied raw materials with efficacy proven in studies. Desired ef-fects require an average of 12 weeks.
  • Retinal has an intense yellow color! The stabilized formula provides study-proven efficacy for 12 months after opening.
