The highest-strength retinoid formula with stabilized retinaldehyde for advanced age support, optimal for nighttime use. Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is a very high strength retinoid formula that rapidly firms and smooths skin, while noticeably reducing the appearance of dark spots. It helps refine skin texture, while targeting uneven tone and boosting luminosity for brighter, more even-looking skin.

The serum-textured formula is suitable for all skin types, and is recommended for experienced users of retinoids. If you are new to using retinoids, we recommend exploring the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, or the Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, and progressing to higher strengths as your skin builds tolerance.

Retinal (also known as retinaldehyde) is a well-studied retinoid that offers more efficient delivery of the most direct form of vitamin A molecules than retinol, thanks to being 1 conversion step closer to the bioactive form of vitamin A.

With a high 0.2% concentration of retinal, Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is able to noticeably improve skin firmness and improve the look of lines and wrinkles, including crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion also contains synthetic oat analogues (specifically avenanthramide - a key beneficial component found in oats). This ingredient is known to help target skin discomfort and dryness, which are common concerns associated with retinoid use.

The bright yellow hue of the formula comes from the high concentration of retinal, which is naturally yellow. This may leave some residual colour on skin and light coloured fabrics, which can be minimised by allowing the product to fully absorb, and skin to dry before making contact with light-coloured fabrics. This residual colour can be removed by washing skin with water, and washing fabrics with your regular detergent according to their care instructions.

Directions

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry face and neck in the evening. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes. Start with a weekly application and gradually increase to twice a week, a few days apart, as tolerated by your skin. Apply a moisturizer afterwards. Do not use with other retinoid products. Use sun protection during the day.

If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Refer to our website for a patch test guide, regimen guide, and product compatibility. Keep out of reach of children.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Amazing Anyone giving this a bad review is using it wrong. You only need a pea size drop for the whole face and are supposed to use it one to two times a week. This product has made a landslide difference in my skin care. At first I was not seeing results with the ordinary products but decided to just do the suggested regime and added a few products. After using the line for a few weeks I have seen a drastic difference in my skin as a whole and will never go back to my old routine. Rather then seeing just temporary changes I'm seeing permanent real change in my pores, density, elasticity and the glow! Take the time to look up instructions on each product it makes a difference.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Had 3 uses out of this product. Had 3 uses of this product, and could not expel more out of the tube. I even took the top off to see if this was really all of the product. For the price, I got 3 small sized pumps (about a pea size for reference). Very disappointed, buyer beware.

You are supposed to be the Extra Ordinary.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not bad [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and The Ordinary in exchange for my honest review. I have been really enjoying this The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion. I've noticed after a few weeks that my pores seem to be smaller and those little fine lines have started to smooth out. It absorbs nicely into my skin. I did deal with a bit of overdrying for the first week or two but now it's an affordable part of my skin care routine.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great sample but not for me [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really didn't see much of a difference it's supposed to be a lightning and tightening serum and I used it for over a month every other day for about a month and I didn't see much difference I definitely would not buy this it's very creamy and absorbs right into your skin it does make your skin a little bit dry and the areas you put it in it has no smell it's unscented and I do like the little bottle that it comes in

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Literally magic I am 47 and had pronounced forehead lines from frowning. Retinol serum was working well to reduce the lines. Then I tried this. One application and my lines have reduced so dramatically I look 20 years younger! No sensitivity at all but did apply another brand of HA serum first and plenty of moisturiser afterwards. Highly recommend!! In shock tbh haha!
