Target signs of ageing with a calcium-encapsulated retinoid that helps minimise any irritation
Derm-level results without a prescription
Strengthens & smooths for an improved skin barrier
Our CLINICAL Retinaldehyde Treatment is formulated with Retinaldehyde, a direct precursor to skin-active retinoic acid. What this means is that it only needs one step to "convert" into retinoic acid, which is the form that skin can then absorb. This key anti-ageing ingredient is also encapsulated in calcium phosphate to minimise irritation, while Oleyl Adapalenate is an oil-soluble retinoid that binds directly to the skin’s retinoic acid receptors to clarify blemish-prone skin. As your next step, the Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturiser provides optimal hydration, boasting a powerful blend of five skin-identical ceramides & cholesterol that replenishes the skin barrier. It does so by encouraging the skin's own ceramides to self-hydrate, meaning your skin barrier can function at its best – day after day.
Stronger skin begins with barrier repair.
A high potency retinoid treatment that dramatically improves wrinkles & eliminates breakouts – without the irritation.
Start with 3x a week & gradually increase frequency to every night as tolerated. Apply 1-2 pumps over the face & neck, avoiding contact with eyes. Blend thoroughly. For daytime, follow with SPF 30 or higher.*
Apply the moisturiser as the last step in your evening routine. For daytime use, follow with SPF 30 or higher.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse your eyes thoroughly with water. If you experience irritation, reduce frequency or discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children. When combined with AHA or BHA exfoliants, monitor carefully to see how your skin responds. Contains Vitamin A.
The ideal client for this treatment is someone who is seeing advanced signs of ageing and sun damage like fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness and colour changes. Enlarged or clogged pores, rough or bumpy texture and post-breakout marks might be a concern as well. This treatment is even suitable for those with acne-prone skin. Note: We do not recommend this product for our teenage customers as their skin is typically more sensitive in this age range due to hormonal changes.
Vitamin A in its purest form is bright yellow, so the shade you see represents the potent amount of retinaldehyde in the formula. Upon application, you may notice a slight yellow hue on the skin but this is temporary. The colour dissipates quickly once absorbed and will not stain your skin.
For those with concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, rough texture, blemishes and pore congestion, the CLINICAL Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment is an effective choice, although it may not be the best option for retinoid beginners. Given its potency, start with applying once or twice a week and gradually increase frequency to avoid irritation. Consider a patch test beforehand to gauge your skin sensitivity.
Our formula contains retinaldehyde, the closest ingredient to prescription-strength retinoic acid that is obtainable without a prescription and that can be a less irritating alternative. Unlike most prescription retinoids, our treatment includes carefully selected supporting ingredients such as pomegranate peel extract, jojoba seed oil and mushroom extract that help soothe, moisturise and gently target multiple signs of ageing whilst also helping to reduce signs of breakouts.
Since retinoids are a potent class of skincare ingredients, there are certain circumstances where you should avoid using these ingredients in your routine. For example: 1) If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and your doctor recommends against using these ingredients. 2) If you have certain medical skin conditions and your doctor recommends against using these ingredients. 3) If your skin has become sunburned and/or if you have any open wounds or cuts. 4) Prior to cosmetic corrective procedures involving lights or lasers, as well as for a certain period prior to and after high-strength acid peels (consult your practitioner).
