Your first step into Retinaldehyde. Gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Retinaldehyde Serums
You have heard of retinol. This works faster and is more gentle on the skin.
Retinaldehyde is a more advanced form of vitamin A, available in three strengths so every skin can find its right starting point.
Which strength is right for you?
If you are new to retinoids, we recommend starting with the lowest strength.
New to retinoids, or had a reaction to retinol before? Start here. Use two to three evenings a week. Your skin sets the pace. There is no rush.
Already using retinoids comfortably? This gives you noticeably stronger results. A short adjustment period of one to two weeks is normal. Most women see visible improvement within four to six weeks.
For skin with an established retinoid routine. Start slowly and build frequency over two to three weeks. The most visible results come after eight weeks of consistent use.
A meaningful step forward for skin with retinoid tolerance.
The highest concentration in the range. For an established retinoid routine.
What makes Retinaldehyde different
Retinaldehyde is a form of vitamin A that sits one step closer to the skin’s active form than retinol. The skin needs to do less conversion work, which means it acts faster and typically causes less irritation. It is not a prescription retinoid. Introduced at the right concentration and pace, it is suitable for sensitive skin.

The clinical studies
Study results on the active ingredients in these serums.
Retinaldehyde
Fine lines and texture
In clinical studies using Retinaldehyde formulas, wrinkle depth visibly reduced by up to 30% and skin texture improved by up to 20% after 12 weeks of consistent use, with visible results reported within 8 weeks.
Argireline®
Expression lines softened
In clinical studies, wrinkle volume appeared reduced by up to 20,6% and skin roughness decreased by up to 20,4% after four weeks of consistent use.
SNAP-8™
Wrinkle depth reduced
In a 28-day clinical study, wrinkle depth appeared reduced by up to 38% and skin smoothness visibly improved versus placebo.
How to use it
Evening only
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin in the evening, before your moisturiser. Avoid the eye area.
SPF every morning
Retinaldehyde increases sun sensitivity. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning after a night of use.
Build gradually
Begin two to three evenings per week and increase frequency gradually as your skin adjusts. This applies at every strength.
FAQ
Key Benefits?
Retinaldehyde works on several visible concerns at once. Fine lines and expression lines appear softer with consistent use, particularly around the eyes and forehead where repeated movement leaves its mark first. Skin texture looks more refined and even over time. Tone appears brighter, with pigmentation and uneven patches visibly less noticeable. The barrier-supporting ingredients, Niacinamide and Sodium Hyaluronate, help the skin stay hydrated and resilient throughout the adjustment period, which matters particularly for sensitive skin beginning a retinoid routine for the first time.
Clinical results?
Retinaldehyde: biochemical research shows Retinaldehyde converts to retinoic acid up to 11 times faster than retinol. In clinical studies using Retinaldehyde formulas, wrinkle depth visibly reduced by up to 30% and elasticity improved by up to 20% after 12 weeks of daily use, with visible results reported within 8 weeks.
SNAP-8™: in a 28-day clinical study (22 women, 35 to 55), wrinkle depth appeared reduced by up to 38% and skin smoothness improved by up to 11,9% versus placebo.
Argireline®: in clinical studies (22 women, 35 to 60), wrinkle volume appeared reduced by up to 20,6% and length by up to 15,9% after one week. After four weeks, skin roughness decreased by up to 20,4%.
Niacinamide: clinical studies show Niacinamide can increase ceramide levels and reduce transepidermal water loss within 4 weeks. Continued use over 12 weeks visibly improved the appearance of hyperpigmented spots and fine lines, supporting smoother texture and more even tone.
Not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding
Retinaldehyde is a form of vitamin A and is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy, please consult your healthcare professional before use.
The serums were made for an evening routine that already exists.
Tatiana’s evening massage routine is designed to follow active serum application. Many customers use both as part of the same evening ritual — the massage and the serum complement each other naturally.
