Theralogic Retinal Wrinkle and Elasticity Ampoule

What is this product?

A reason to reach for this: it discloses its retinoid loading. 레틴알 at 3,000ppm, which is 0.3 percent, is a high consumer strength for retinaldehyde, and the number is printed in the statutory ingredient list rather than implied. A reason to avoid it: that same loading makes it a poor first retinoid, and the label offers no frequency ramp, no evening instruction and no pregnancy statement to steer by, so the caution has to come from outside the box. Retinal is not retinol; the brand also sells a 레티놀 ampoule and the names differ by one character. Two surfaces agree a functional cosmetic filing exists, and the brand's own page names the categories as 미백 and 주름개선. 30ml, made in Korea, sold through the brand storefront and Olive Young Korea. Container form, pH and English INCI are not established in the material held here.

What makes it different?

A disclosed 0.3 percent retinaldehyde, printed as 3,000ppm inside the statutory ingredient list rather than as a marketing figure, in a line that also sells a separately named retinol ampoule; and a filing whose two categories are named by the brand while the retail record confirms only that a filing exists.

Which articles cover it?

Articles on this site that write about this product.

• Retinal is the rare trend word that arrives with a numberTwelve Korean labels put retinal on the front. All twelve print it in the ingredient list, and eleven print how much, which almost no trend word does.
• Adenosine is the wrinkle active on the label, and nobody prints how muchAdenosine carries the wrinkle improvement half of a Korean functional cosmetic registration. Across every label we read that lists it, not one gave a number.
