👉 Genuine retinoids such as retinol and retinal are considered the gold standard of anti-aging skincare. Their effectiveness has been demonstrated in numerous studies. Compared with retinol, retinal has the advantage of working faster and more effectively because it is converted into active retinoic acid in just one step. It is also gentler and can be used on sensitive skin. This highly effective serum stimulates collagen production, promotes cell renewal, and supports a smooth complexion. Lines, pigmentation concerns, and a dull complexion can gradually be reduced.

Key Ingredients

• Encapsulated Retinal (0.1%) is one of the most effective cosmetic vitamin A derivatives for visible signs of skin aging. It supports skin renewal and collagen production and helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, refine the skin's texture, and even out an uneven skin tone. Since retinal requires only one conversion step to become active retinoic acid, it is particularly interesting for effective slow-aging care. The encapsulation protects the sensitive active ingredient and enables controlled release.
• Aloe Vera, Glycerin & Snow Fungus (Tremella) intensely hydrate the skin and balance the highly effective retinal care. Aloe vera and glycerin bind water and help reduce feelings of dryness and tightness. Tremella is rich in water-binding polysaccharides and additionally supports skin hydration while reducing moisture loss - for plumper, smoother skin.
• Squalane & Pomegranate Seed Oil complement the moisturizing care with valuable lipids. Squalane supports the skin's natural barrier, reduces moisture loss, and leaves skin feeling soft and silky. Pomegranate seed oil is particularly rich in punicic acid and antioxidant compounds and is well suited to dry, mature, or externally stressed skin.
• Allantoin & Bisabolol soothe the skin and support a comfortable skin feel during retinal care. Allantoin nourishes dry and sensitive skin and helps make rough areas feel smoother. Bisabolol is known for its pronounced skin-soothing properties and is particularly valuable for skin that quickly reacts with redness or irritation.
• Saffron Extract provides crocin, flavonoids, and other antioxidant plant compounds. It supports the skin's protection against oxidative stress and complements retinal particularly well in care for mature, dull, or uneven-looking skin. Human studies with topical saffron formulations have also shown interesting effects on hydration, elasticity, and the appearance of wrinkles.
• Barberry Extract complements the formula with antioxidant and skin-soothing plant compounds. Together with saffron, bisabolol, and allantoin, it supports a more balanced skin feel and makes this highly effective retinal care particularly interesting for sensitive and demanding skin.

How to Use

• Preferably use the Adaptogen Retinal Serum in the evening, as retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to light and the serum can best develop its regenerating effect overnight.
• We also recommend gradually integrating the active ingredient into your beauty routine: using it two to three times a week gives your skin time to adjust to the new active ingredient.
• You can also use the serum as an active-ingredient booster by adding a few drops to a facial oil or cream of your choice.
• The serum has a practical lock-in closure: open the serum by turning the pump dispenser to the left; close the serum by turning the pump dispenser to the right.
  Cleanse your skin thoroughly.
• Apply 3-4 pumps of the serum to the skin.
• Gently massage in the serum. Enjoy your radiant skin!
• As retinal can make the skin more sensitive to light, we recommend using sun protection during the day. The Retinal Serum should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Note: Contains vitamin A. Consider your daily intake before use. May increase the skin's sensitivity to light. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
