Product Overview
The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is the brand's highest-strength retinal formulation. Unlike retinol, Retinal (Retinaldehyde) requires only one conversion step to become retinoic acid, allowing it to deliver faster visible improvements in skin texture, firmness, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Alongside retinal, the formula includes Synthetic Oat Analogues (Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide and Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid), Ergothioneine, Bisabolol, and Ginger Root Extract to help calm irritation and support the skin barrier, making this powerful retinoid more comfortable to use. It is recommended only for users who have already built tolerance to retinoids.
How to Use
- Use only in the evening.
- Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, completely dry skin.
- Avoid the eye contour and lips.
- Follow with a moisturizer if needed.
- Begin 1–2 nights per week and gradually increase as tolerated.
- Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning while using this product.
How Not to Use

FAQ
Who should use this retinal serum?
It is designed for experienced retinoid users who want a high-strength formula to target wrinkles, dark spots, uneven texture, and loss of firmness. Beginners should start with a lower-strength retinoid.
Is Retinal stronger than Retinol?
Yes. Retinal (Retinaldehyde) is one conversion step closer to retinoic acid than retinol, allowing it to deliver faster and more noticeable results.
Can I use this every night?
Only after your skin has built sufficient tolerance. Start with 1–2 nights per week and gradually increase usage as tolerated.
Can I use it with exfoliating acids or Vitamin C?
No. The Ordinary recommends avoiding direct acids, other retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and direct Vitamin C in the same routine to minimize irritation.
Is this product pregnancy safe?
No. This product contains 0.2% Retinal (Retinaldehyde), a vitamin A derivative (retinoid). Retinoids are not recommended during pregnancy or while trying to conceive. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using any retinoid-containing skincare products.
Important Note
Use only as part of your evening skincare routine. Mild redness, dryness, and peeling may occur during the adjustment period. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning while using retinal products. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
