Description

Dr.Different RETINAL1000 Signature Cream is a 20g anti-aging retinal cream with 1,000 ppm retinal for firmness, elasticity, and smoother skin texture. Retinal is delivered in patented 0.17 μm liposome particles that keep it stable under light and heat. The formula is registered in Korea as a wrinkle-improvement functional cosmetic. It suits anyone building a retinal routine who wants high-strength care in a fast-absorbing cream.

Why This One

  • 1,000 ppm retinal, a retinoid about 77 times more potent than retinol as a raw material, so each application carries a high-strength active.
  • 0.17 μm patented niosome particles (Korean Patents No. 10-2122839 and No. 10-2458630) keep retinal stable for steady results, even after exposure to light and to 40° heat over 30 days.
  • 230% improvement compared with a retinol cream after 8 weeks in a 22-person test by Global Medical Research Center, giving you results measured on real users. Individual results vary.

Key Features

  • Registered wrinkle-improvement functional cosmetic
  • Retinal promotes skin turnover, clears away dead skin cells, and supports collagen production for firmer-looking skin
  • Combines a shortened turnover cycle with collagen support for total texture and elasticity care
  • In a lab test on human dermal fibroblasts, collagen increased by 544% at 72 hours
  • Completed 6 types of anti-aging human application tests
  • Patented liposome formula breaks retinal into fine 0.17 μm particles for fast, deep delivery
  • Yellow cream absorbs quickly without stickiness
  • Suitable for daytime use when paired with sunscreen
  • Same full ingredients and volume as the former Vitalift-A Forte Night Treatment Cream, now with a new name and packaging
  • For stronger elasticity care, Dr.Different also offers the Retinal 1500 Signature Cream

How to Use

  1. After cleansing, at the cream step of your routine, take an appropriate amount and apply it over the entire face.
  2. Start with a pea-sized amount. Increase the amount gradually as your skin adapts.
  3. For extremely sensitive skin, mix the cream with a barrier cream at first. Once your skin adapts, use it on its own and gradually increase the amount.
  4. When using during the day, apply sunscreen as well for UV protection.

Key Ingredients

  • Retinal (1,000 ppm): promotes skin turnover and supports collagen production for firmness and elasticity
  • Liposome/niosome delivery system (0.17 μm): stabilizes retinal against light and heat and delivers it deeper into the skin
