RetrinAL 0.1% Intensive Cream.

"If you've done retinol and you want to upgrade, go for retinaldehyde and Avène RetrinAL products are great. Those are gentle retinaldehydes and that's only one conversion step away from becoming active retinoic acid versus retinol needs two conversion steps."

"If you want something stronger, you got Avène's RetrinAL line that's been great. Avène has really impressed me. Reliable in the sensitive skincare world just like Vanicream has been and La Roche Posay. So I say consider their retinol there if you want something stronger like a retinaldehyde which is one conversion step away from being retinoic acid and active and that beats retinol which needs two conversion steps."

"Avène, their RetrinAL 0.1% intensive cream. Very nice product. I've been using this quite a bit recently. They've come out with a gentle retinaldehyde compound, the RetrinAL. This is really great for anti-aging. It has a thermal spring water to help soothe and not irritate the skin barrier too much while you start off on it. Retinaldehyde is quite difficult to compound into a nice product and it's quite unstable. This product is good to see coming out with a stabilized formulation with retinaldehyde so we can use it that's more potent than retinol. It's good for my advanced users that have been following me and want to step up their skincare game. This is a nice go-to product to try out. Avène is a nice French brand."
