Got Questions? We've Got Answers!

Will this burn and peel like retinol did?

No. Retinal converts in one step (not retinol's two), causing less irritation. Plus we've added panthenol and niacinamide to soothe skin. 90% of users report zero irritation. Start 2-3x weekly to be safe, but most Irish women use it nightly within a week without issues.

What's the difference between retinal and retinol?

Retinol needs TWO conversions in your skin to work (retinol → retinal → retinoic acid). Retinal needs just ONE (retinal → retinoic acid). Fewer steps = less damage, faster results. That's why you'll see smaller pores in one night with retinal vs. months with retinol.

I'm scared of purging - will I break out?

Most people don't purge with retinal (unlike retinol). If you do get a few spots in week 1, it's just congestion clearing - gone by week 2. But if you experience severe breakouts, stop use. Our guarantee covers you either way.

Can I use this with my other skincare?

Yes, but avoid using vitamin C, AHAs/BHAs, or other retinoids in the same routine. Simple routine: Cleanse → Retinal Serum → Moisturizer. Use other actives in the morning or alternate nights. Always use SPF 30+ the next day.

Why is it yellow? Will it stain my pillow?

The yellow color is proof it's real retinal (clear serums are lying to you). Any slight tint washes off easily in the morning. Let it absorb for 10 minutes before bed to avoid transfer.

How is this €19 when Medik8 charges €86?

Same 0.1% retinal concentration. We just don't have celebrity endorsements, fancy packaging, or Boots' 300% markup. We're buying market share, not funding advertising campaigns. The formula is what matters.
