Retinaldehyde: what it does & who it's for
A faster-acting form of retinol for lines and texture. Night only.
What it is
A faster-acting form of retinol for lines and texture. Night only. In short, it's one of the active ingredients Vaiya's engine understands and can match to your skin and goals.
How to use it
Introduce Retinaldehyde slowly — every other day at first — and give your skin a couple of weeks to adjust before increasing frequency. Patch test on a small area first, and if you layer several actives, add one at a time so you can tell what's working.
Daytime note: Retinaldehyde can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Use it in your PM routine and wear a broad-spectrum SPF every morning.
