Derma Factory Retinal 300ppm Cream
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-27
What is this product?
A 30ml night cream in a tube from Korean brand Derma Factory, built on retinal at a stated 300ppm in a liposome with centella leaf water, which the brand prints at 66 percent, plus niacinamide and panthenol at 2 percent each and adenosine at 0.04 percent, sold with whitening and wrinkle functional claims. The brand positions it as the starting dose before its 1000ppm cream and asks for night use, a slow start and daytime sunscreen. The two ingredient lists collected disagree, so neither is carried as the composition; both include a fragrance entry.
What makes it different?
A lower-dose retinal cream that the brand itself frames as the entry step before a stronger retinal cream, carried in a phospholipid liposome over a centella water base, with printed percentages for its key ingredients and a four-week firmness and texture test attributed to a named test centre.
