Ordinary – Retinal 0.2% Emulsion – 15ml

Product Information

The Ordinary – Retinal 0.2% Emulsion, 15ml Unlock the next level of skincare results with The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion, a powerful, science-backed formula designed to target visible signs of aging, improve skin texture, and promote a more radiant, youthful complexion. This high-strength treatment features 0.2% retinal (retinaldehyde) — a next-generation retinoid that works faster and more effectively than traditional retinol, without compromising on skin comfort. Retinal is a potent vitamin A derivative that converts directly into retinoic acid (the active form used by skin) 11 times faster than retinol, allowing it to deliver more immediate and noticeable results. This emulsion helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and blemishes, while supporting smoother, firmer-looking skin over time. Formulated in a gentle, milky emulsion base, The Ordinary balances potency with skin-soothing ingredients to minimize irritation — making it suitable for those ready to level up from retinol but still concerned about sensitivity. As always, it's free from alcohol, fragrance, essential oils, and animal-derived ingredients. Key Benefits: Contains 0.2% retinaldehyde (retinal) – a highly potent, fast-acting retinoid Visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, texture irregularities, and dullness Helps improve skin tone, firmness, and clarity Gentle emulsion base for improved tolerance and minimal irritation Suitable for most skin types, especially those experienced with retinoids Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, vegan, and cruelty-free Packaged in a UV-protective bottle to preserve formula stability Compact 15ml size – concentrated and effective How to Use: Apply a small amount in the evening, after water-based serums and before heavier creams. Use no more than once daily. Always follow with sunscreen in the morning. Avoid using with other strong actives (AHAs, BHAs, or other retinoids) in the same routine. Note: Retinal is significantly stronger than retinol. Patch test before first use and begin with limited frequency to build tolerance. Step into high-performance skincare with The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion — clinically informed, potent, and minimalistic care for real results.
