• Targeted Discoloration Correction: The formula is engineered to effectively address both post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), promoting an even, luminous complexion.
• Barrier Support & Soothing: Features a synergistic blend of Phytosphingosine, Carnosine 2.0, and Ceramides to reinforce the skin barrier, mitigating redness and potential irritation associated with retinoid use.

Is retinal better than retinol for sensitive skin?

Yes, retinal (retinaldehyde) is often considered superior for sensitive skin. It requires only one conversion step to become retinoic acid (the active form in the skin), making it act faster and more efficiently than retinol. This efficiency means it can be used at lower, less irritating concentrations while still delivering significant results. This anti-aging serum with retinal is further buffered with soothing ingredients, making it an excellent choice for those seeking efficacy without compromising on comfort.

Can I use BasicLab retinal serum if I have rosacea?

Due to its low irritation potential and potent anti-inflammatory properties, retinal is often well-tolerated by rosacea-prone skin, unlike more aggressive retinoids. The inclusion of Phytosphingosine, a natural anti-inflammatory agent, and barrier-supporting ceramides in this formula makes it particularly suitable. However, it is crucial to introduce it slowly, starting with once or twice a week, and always in conjunction with a robust, soothing skincare routine and daily high-factor sun protection.

How to Maximize The Effects?

Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the serum in the evening to a clean and completely dry face, neck, and décolletage, avoiding the delicate eye and mouth area. Wash hands thoroughly after application. Initially, use it 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing the frequency as your skin builds tolerance.

Is This Formula For You? Yes, If:

• You are experiencing adult acne, blackheads, or persistent imperfections.
• Your skin shows signs of post-inflammatory discoloration (red or brown marks).
• You wish to implement a powerful anti-aging strategy to combat fine lines and loss of firmness.
• You're looking for an effective yet gentle retinal serum suitable for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.

For a comprehensive barrier-repair ritual, pair this serum with a ceramide-rich moisturiser from the BasicLab range.
