VITALIFT-A Forte Retinal 0.1%, Intensive Anti-Aging Cream for Wrinkle Reduction, Skin Elasticity, Lifting, Firming with Vita A, K-Skincare made by Korean Dermatologist. 0.7oz

This retinal is amazing! My skin always looks so good the next day when I wake up after putting this on at night.

まだ使い始めて1週間なので効果の程はわからないが、使い心地はいい。

I really love this cream! The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy feeling. After a few weeks, I noticed my eye area looking smoother and healthier. Perfect for delicate areas like the eyes and neck. Highly recommended!

There isn’t much to say about this because it’s literally from Korea and K beauty is everywhere. This isn’t a harsh retinal, and the low dosage makes it easy to use and ease into.

Like other products from Dr. Different's Retinal line, this eye and neck treatment have top-notch ingredients. This, like other retinoid products should be patch tested before you use it on your face since retinoids can cause irritation. Additionally, retinal with an "a" tends to be a bit harsher on your skin than retinol with an "o". So why Retinal instead of Retinol? First, tretinoin is the top dog of the family of retinoids. Its is retinoic acid, the stuff your skin can use. Retinol (with an O) has to be converted through two steps in the skin to become retinoic acid. Our skin isn't always great at the conversion though, so we don't always get all the retinoic acid we hope for out of the conversion. Retinal (with an A) is only one conversion step away from retinoic acid. So it only needs one step to become active in the skin and our skin is much more efficient at the conversion at this level. In a study there was a comparison of use of .05% retinal with .05% retinoic acid and they concluded that "at week 18, a significant reduction of the wrinkle and roughness features was observed with both retinaldehyde and retinoic acid." and the difference between the two was not statistically significant. So, retinal is as good as it gets without a prescription for tretinoin. Fantastic stuff for your skin. That said, if you have mature old lady skin like me, you still will. This stuff doesn't undo that damage that time and environment cause, but it can help delay additional signs of aging. This cream spreads fairly well, but on my neck in particular I prefer to apply it to slightly damp skin to help it spread. It's been a terrific addition to my skincare by helping keep my eye and neck area well moisturized and I know I'm putting good ingredients on.
