retinaldehyde 6%

Please welcome Retinaldehyde 6%

The ever expanding lineup of ingredients as Shay just keeps growing!

Retinaldehyde 6% is the ideal retinal ingredient for your skincare formulas.

Retinaldehyde is the premier version of retinoic acid to be used in skincare formulas. There is a lot of talk now about the benefits of retinoic acids, and their harshness on skin. Retinaldehyde is the industry best for daily use without causing the severe irritation of retinol.

Retinaldehyde 6% is a more gentle version of retinol. Easily used on all skin types and creates less irritation. Excellent exfoliant. Works to help decrease visible signs of wrinkles, dark spots, uneven skin tone and acne. Retinal 6% must be incorporated into another formula and cannot be used directly on the skin.

6% Retinaldehyde is a special encapsulated skincare ingredient creating an excellent delivery system for retinaldehyde. Retinaldehyde has been shown to effectively penetrate the skin, while minimizing the traditional redness and peeling experienced with retinol based products.

What are the key benefits of using retinaldehyde in skincare formulas?

Boosts natural collagen production- this is a key step in creating firmer skin over the long run. As we age, we lose the natural collagen in our skin. Using skincare formulas containing retinaldehyde helps to boost the skin’s natural collagen production. This creates firmer skin over the long-time use of retinaldehyde products.

Reduces fine lines and wrinkles- retinoic acid stimulating products are specifically used to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The technology used in retinaldehyde allows it penetrate into the skin. This helps to exfoliate the top layer of aging skin, and helps to bring more youthful looking skin to the surface. Through long-term use of retinaldehyde products, the skin coming to the surface will be firmer and show less wrinkles.

Improved skin tone and texture- the application of retinaldehyde products helps to remove that top layer of dead skin, creating smoother firmer skin.

Reduces dark spots and helps with hyperpigmentation– Retinaldehyde is one of the best ingredients to use in skincare formulas targeting dark spots, sun spots and hyperpigmentation. Sun exposure, environmental damage and just getting old creates uneven skin tone and discoloration. Retinaldehyde works to go beneath the top layer, into the new cells, making them brighter and more even.

Benefits: anti-wrinkle, anti-acne, exfoliating, more gentle than retinol, brightening, reducing dark spots, more even skin tone, natural collagen production, reducing fine lines, thicken skin by promoting differentiation and proliferation of keratinocytes in the epidermis,
