    Retinol, retinal, retinoid??

    I understand that these different ones need to be converted in the skin before they reach their form that is absorbed by the skin and has an effect. BUT do you want it to be converted multiple times, or does it have the best effect if it only needs to be converted once? Grateful for an answer!

      Hey! ☺️ You are absolutely right – retinol, retinal (retinaldehyde), and other retinoids need to be converted in the skin before they become active. The fewer conversion steps required, the stronger (and faster) the effect you get. So if you have sensitive skin, I would recommend something like Retinyl Palmitate, which converts 3 times. While Retinal only converts 1 time and is therefore more effective for a brighter skin 💗 Hope you got some clarity! Good luck and take care! ✨

      Hey Melinda! 👋😊 Oh, it's very hard to answer since it's a milder variant and doesn't contain pure retinol, but I would say it's very mild and I would estimate it to be under 0.5% 🙌 Take care! 🥰

      Hey Melinda The difference between these two is that they have slightly different lightness levels and undertones The first number (e.g., 6 or 4) indicates the level of the color tone or lightness. 6 ➡ Dark blonde or light brown 4 ➡ Brown (darker than 6) The lower the number, the darker the color. The numbers after the dot indicate undertones or shades in the color. .10 stands for an ashy undertone with hints of cool, gray, or bluish shades that tone down warm tones. Take care!
