Avene RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: If you're new to retinoids this one is a great place to start for all skin types. It's my product pick for those who can't tolerate a stronger and less expensive retinoid. I never recommend retinol because retinaldehyde is stronger, and still less irritating than the active retinoid form called retinoic acid. The quality and price are wonderful compared to other products in this class. A reminder of the retinoid conversion in our skin: retinOL --> retinAL --> *retinoic acid* = the active form of retinoid our skin uses.

DETAILS:  Visibly reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and furrows while smoothing and renewing skin. It is formulated with retinaldehyde for a youthful, radiant look, without irritation.

HOW TO USE: Apply to the face, neck, and décolleté in the evening. The use of daily sun protection is recommended during the use of this product. PM

KEY INGREDIENTS: 

• RETINALDEHYDE -  Clinically shown to be more effective than Retinol*, smoothes the appearance of wrinkles and brightens skin
• PRE-TOCOPHERYL- Photostable Vitamin E provides powerful antioxidant protection against free radicals
• AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER - Clinically shown by 150 studies to soothe, soften and calm the skin
