This is a night-time booster with 0.1% retinal, a more advanced form of retinol, and Matrixyl 3000. It targets wrinkles, uneven texture and enlarged pores, and has a lightweight booster texture. It is meant to be used within a Korean anti-aging routine.
The formula includes A-Shot, a refined micro-particle ingredient 16 times thinner than pores. It is designed to enter pores and help the active ingredients absorb. The particles are purified to a uniform size, which is meant to reduce irritation and focus on pores and skin texture.
If you are new to retinol or retinal, apply a small amount to the target areas every other night for the first two weeks. If irritation occurs, use less and apply less often, and use a moisturizer with soothing ingredients. Retinal may give the skin a slight yellow tint after application, which washes off with cleansing.
