Paula’s Choice Retinal #shorts

So what do you think of this new retinol? It's not a retinol. It's a retinal. This is a retinol. Retinals are naturally stronger than retinols because retinols get converted to retinals before they become active in the skin. So if you're looking for something stronger than like a 1% retinol, it is a retinal however. However. There's a however. It's a little deceiving because it's not just a retinal, it's a complex. So that means it's a retinal married to something else. And if you look, it's married to an adapalene precursor. The only thing I do not love about this is they don't give you the breakdown of the percent, because sometimes a 1% retinol can be more irritating than a very lightweight retinal. Even though the retinal is more active than a retinol, it doesn't necessarily mean it is stronger. So I wish they gave the breakdown. Let me know if you guys have any questions below about retinols. Retinals, retinoids, retinoins, the whole confusion in the marketplace.
