Theralogic Retinal Wrinkle-Elasticity Cream

What is this product?

A retinaldehyde cream at a disclosed 3,000 ppm concentration, sold as a 12g cream plus 4ml ampoule bundle, layered with six distinct peptides counted off its 36-entry Korean ingredient string (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9, acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1) and no fragrance ingredient. Choose it for an established, disclosed-concentration retinoid with a real anti-aging mechanism; expect the general irritation and photosensitivity profile common to all retinaldehyde products, and use at night. No pH, container form, or independent review population is confirmed for this exact SKU.

What makes it different?

The retinaldehyde concentration is printed inside the ingredient string itself as 레틴알(3,000ppm), and six distinct peptides sit alongside it at positions 26, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33 of the same 36-entry Korean statement. Against that disclosure, the retailer record's own suitability field reads 'all skin types', which this record grades overstated for a retinoid at that stated level.
