The formula has been enriched with 2% niacinamide, which strengthens the skin's protective barrier, has a soothing and antioxidant effect, 2% squalane, which ensures softness, elasticity, and comfort of the skin, and 0.2% zinc PCA, which regulates sebum secretion, supports regeneration, and reduces the formation of imperfections.

The visibility of fine lines, pores, imperfections, and discoloration is significantly reduced, and the complexion gains an even tone and smoothness. The serum has anti-aging, brightening, and regulating properties, providing comprehensive renewal for the skin without excessive irritation, even for the most sensitive complexions.
FOR WHOM
ESSENCE OF RETINAL serum was created for people who want visible results in the fight against aging, discoloration, and imperfections, without compromising on comfort of use.
It is especially recommended for people who:
- are noticing the first signs of aging – fine lines and loss of skin firmness,
- have uneven skin tone, discoloration, or signs of photoaging,
- struggle with imperfections, blackheads, and excessive oiliness,
- want to start retinoid treatment in a mild form that is well tolerated by the skin,
- are looking for a product that works in multiple ways – anti-aging, brightening, and regulating for problematic skin.
Due to the presence of RETINALDEHYDE LIPOCAPSULES, which contain the active ingredient retinal, the product is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
COSMETOLOGIST'S OPINION
"ESSENCE OF RETINAL smooths fine lines, firms the skin, reduces the appearance of pores, and helps fight imperfections – and at the same time is gentle on the skin. Thanks to the encapsulation of retinal, I can even recommend it to people with sensitive skin who were previously afraid of retinoids. After a few weeks, the skin becomes firmer, more radiant, and visibly smoother. It's a product that really gives you that “wow” effect – for me, it's an absolute must-have in anti-aging and anti-blemish care".

INGREDIENTS THAT CARE FOR YOUR SKIN
Retinal 0.06%
Thanks to modern encapsulation technology, the ingredient is released gradually, which increases its stability and effectiveness while reducing the risk of irritation – which is especially important for sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions. Retinal has anti-aging properties, stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis, smoothing fine lines, firming the skin, and helping to reduce imperfections and discoloration, improving skin structure and density.
Niacinamide 2%
Supports the skin's protective barrier function by increasing the epidermis' ability to retain water. It has antioxidant and soothing properties, reducing inflammation and irritation. Niacinamide also helps regulate sebum production and even out skin tone, leaving the skin smoother, more radiant, and less prone to discoloration.
Squalane 2%
A light, non-greasy emollient with a structure similar to the skin's natural lipids. It forms a protective layer that reduces transepidermal water loss, improves skin elasticity and softness, and does not leave a greasy film. Squalane has a soothing, smoothing and nourishing effect, supporting the natural regeneration of the epidermis and maintaining skin comfort during daily care.
Zinc PCA 0.2%
It regulates sebum secretion, which helps to reduce skin oiliness and limits the formation of imperfections. Zinc PCA also supports skin regeneration processes, has a soothing effect, supports the balance of the skin microbiome and reduces the risk of inflammation and imperfections.

DID YOU KNOW?
Retinal is one of the most versatile ingredients in skin care? ESSENCE OF RETINAL combines its anti-aging and brightening properties with anti-acne action. Encapsulation makes the serum more tolerable, reduces imperfections and discoloration, and effectively smooths wrinkles and firms the skin – even for sensitive skin.
WHAT IS RETINAL?
Retinal (retinaldehyde) is a modern, advanced form of vitamin A, which is considered one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients in skincare. It can be described as an “improved successor to retinol” – it works faster and is usually better tolerated by the skin. Why? Because the retinal only needs one conversion to transform into the active form of vitamin A – retinoic acid.
Stages of retinoid conversion
retinyl esters -> retinol -> retinal -> retinoic acid
3 conversions | 2 conversions | 1 conversion | active metabolite used by the skin
Retinal acts as an intelligent “accelerator” of renewal – it stimulates cells to regenerate intensively.
For the skin, this means:
- faster improvement in structure and density,
- visible smoothing of wrinkles,
- reduction of acne lesions, blackheads, and regulation of sebum secretion,
- evening out skin tone and lightening discoloration.
Retinal is the perfect choice for people who want visible results without compromising on skin comfort right from the start. This ingredient has both anti-aging and brightening properties and is also great for acne treatments. It is an excellent alternative for those whose skin reacts badly to retinol – side effects during tolerance building are much less common. That is why retinal is especially recommended for people with sensitive skin.
It is a powerful active ingredient, so it may cause slight dryness or irritation at first – the skin needs time to get used to it.
However, when introduced gradually and used regularly, it produces some of the most spectacular results in home care.
Step 1
In the evening, perform a two-step skin cleansing routine.
Step 2
Wait until your skin is completely dry.
Step 3
Apply a pea-sized amount of serum, avoiding the eye and mouth areas.
Step 4
About 30 minutes later, finish your skincare routine with a regenerating cream, e.g., with ceramides.
Step 5 (in the morning)
Remember to apply SPF 50+ sunscreen to protect your skin and maximize the effects of the retinal treatment.
Gradual introduction of the serum
To ensure skin comfort and minimize the risk of irritation, introduce ESSENCE OF RETINAL serum gradually:
- Weeks 1–2: use twice a week.
- Weeks 3–4: apply the serum every other evening, observing your skin's reaction.
After 5 weeks: if your skin tolerates the product well, you can use the serum every evening.
If redness, irritation, or excessive dryness occurs, take a few days' break. Once your skin has calmed down, return to the gradual introduction schedule to achieve full tolerance of the product without rushing.
Important: During treatment, avoid using other retinoids, strong acids, and vitamin C in the same skincare routine.
Classic method
Apply ESSENCE OF RETINAL to thoroughly cleansed and completely dry skin. After about 30 minutes, finish your skincare routine with a regenerating cream, preferably one containing ceramides, which will strengthen the protective barrier and ensure skin comfort.
Sandwich method
This method is especially recommended for sensitive skin. First, apply a light moisturizing serum and wait until it is completely absorbed. Then apply ESSENCE OF RETINAL. After 30 minutes, finish your skincare routine with a regenerating cream, e.g., one containing ceramides. This routine helps reduce the risk of irritation while maintaining the effectiveness of retinal.
Both methods allow you to safely and effectively harness the potential of retinal, tailoring your skincare routine to the current needs of your skin.
