Retinaldehyde for hyperpigmentation — what it is, how it works and how to add it to your routine without irritation.
Retinaldehyde is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.
Retinaldehyde (retinal) acts faster than retinol but is gentler than prescription retinoic acid.
Hyperpigmentation is localised excess melanin after sun, inflammation or hormonal change. This is exactly where Retinaldehyde shines: retinaldehyde (retinal) acts faster than retinol but is gentler than prescription retinoic acid. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for hyperpigmentation.
A good compromise between potency and tolerance for experienced users. Without daily SPF any brightening actives work in vain.
First changes are usually visible after 4–8 weeks of consistent use; lasting results take 2–3 months.
Start 2–3 times a week and build up based on how your skin responds. Without daily SPF any brightening actives work in vain.
A good compromise between potency and tolerance for experienced users. If in doubt, consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist.
