Retinol has to convert twice inside your skin before it does anything — most of it breaks down before it gets there. This cream uses retinaldehyde, which only converts once, making it up to 20× more effective at the same concentration. It’s the strongest retinoid you can get without a prescription, and because the barrier-repair cream is built in, you don’t get the irritation that usually comes with stepping up.

Skin Irritation Free
Your retinol isn’t working. You’ve been using it for months and your texture still looks the same. That’s because retinol has to convert twice inside your skin before it can do anything — and most of it breaks down before it gets there.
• 0.05% Retinaldehyde — 20× more effective than retinol, one step from prescription strength
• 3% Matrixyl 3000 peptide complex rebuilds collagen for firmness and elasticity
• 5% Panthenol + Centella repairs your barrier while actives work — no irritation trade-off
One push dispenses two creams side by side. The yellow cream (Retinal + Matrixyl) resurfaces and firms. The blue cream (Panthenol + Centella) soothes and repairs your barrier at the exact same moment. You mix them on your skin — results without the burn.
Question 1: What makes retinaldehyde different from retinol?
Answer 1: Retinol has to convert twice inside your skin before it can do anything — most of it breaks down before it gets there. Retinaldehyde only converts once, making it up to 20× more effective at the same concentration. It’s the strongest retinoid you can use without a prescription.
Question 2: How does the dual-cream system work?
Answer 2: One press dispenses two creams side by side. The yellow cream contains retinaldehyde and Matrixyl 3000 for anti-ageing. The blue cream contains panthenol and centella for barrier repair. You mix them on your skin — the barrier protection arrives at the same moment as the active, so you get results without the irritation.
Question 3: Will this irritate my sensitive skin?
Answer 3: That’s exactly why the dual-cream system exists. Most retinal products cause dryness and peeling because they deliver a strong active with no barrier support. This cream builds 5% panthenol and centella directly into every application — your barrier is being repaired at the same time the retinal is working. Most users report zero irritation from day one.
Question 4: Can I use this every night?
Answer 4: Yes. Because the barrier-repair cream is built in, most people can use this nightly from the start. If you’re new to retinoids, start with every other night for the first week, then move to nightly. There’s no mandatory purging period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our product.
Yes. The dual-cream system was designed so that the barrier-repair side (panthenol + centella) protects every skin type while the retinaldehyde works. Sensitive, oily, dry, combination — the built-in soothing layer means you don’t need to buffer or build up slowly the way you would with a standalone retinoid. As with any new product, do a patch test first.
The opposite. Most retinal products cause dryness because they deliver a strong active with no barrier support. This cream builds 5% panthenol directly into every application — it’s actively hydrating your skin at the same time the retinaldehyde is resurfacing it. Users consistently report no dryness or peeling, even from the first use.
Yes. Retinaldehyde increases your skin’s sensitivity to UV, so you should apply SPF 30+ every morning while using this cream. Apply the dual cream at night, and follow with sunscreen in the morning. This isn’t unique to this product — it applies to any retinoid, including retinol.
