MINIMIZE RETINOL PRODUCT IRRITATION WITH RETINALDEHYDE

Retinol, a pure form of Vitamin A, is prone to triggering irritation, flaky skin, and peeling when it is applied. 

Retinaldehyde is an encapsulated and ultra-stabilized bio-active form of Vitamin A that gradually and effectively converts to Retinoic Acid in the skin.

This gentle conversion means retinaldehyde is well-tolerated by more sensitive skin types and is perfect if you're new to retinol face products. Retinaldehyde is also ideal for advanced retinoid users.

African Botanics skincare products with retinol are also expertly formulated with moisture-promoting agents such as hyaluronic acid, oligosaccharide, squalene, glycerin, and peptides to maximize moisture and minimize irritation and flakiness.

ENCAPSULATED RETINOL SKINCARE PRODUCTS TO SUIT ALL SKIN TYPES

Our range offers retinol skin care products for sensitive skin and retinol beginners through to advanced retinol users. Discover the best retinol night creams, serum, oil and balm options for all skin types. 

GUIDANCE FOR INTRODUCING VITAMIN A INTO YOUR ROUTINE

Introduce retinol skincare products into your routine once every three days for the first 2 weeks. Increase to every other day and, finally, every day as your skin grows accustomed to Vitamin A. 

Consult the application instructions on each of our African Botanics retinol skin products for individual guidance. 

The use of skincare products with retinol increases the skin’s sensitivity to UV light and photodamage.

Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in your morning routine to protect the skin from accelerated photoaging. 

PREGNANCY AND RETINOL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

 Retinol, retinaldehyde and all other forms of Vitamin A (retinoids) are not considered safe for use while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Please pause the use of any retinoids when expecting or while breastfeeding.
