How to Use
How to Use
Apply to clean face. Avoid the area around the eyes.
Rule 1: start low, start slow
Start with a lower concentration (0,05%). This will give your skin time to get accustomed (build tolerance) to retinal. After using a tube (one cycle), you can switch to 0,15% RETINAL LEVEL UP. But please keep in mind: it’s not the percentage of retinal that matters, but the effect on your skin. Find out what works best for you!
Begin slowly – 2 or 3 times per week for a couple of weeks. Then you can slowly increase the frequence to 5 times per week, but this is not a rule nor a must – observe your skin and how it tolerates this strong retinoid.
Rule 2: evenings only
Only use it in the evening. Apply SPF protection in the morning, if you can. Never use retinal in the morning, especially if you’re going out in the sun.
Rule 3: use a small amount
A pea-sized amount is usually enough for the whole face. There is no need to use a lot, this is not a regular daily cream. Overdoing retinal can dry out your skin.
Don’t combine with …
On the evenings you use RETINAL LEVEL UP, avoid products with vitamin C, salicylic acid or AHA acids, because irriation can occur. You can use them the next morning, if you wish.
Skin Types
Skin Types

Warnings

Stop use if a more intense skin reaction occurs (but a gentle tingling sensation or the feeling of dry skin is normal, especially if this is your first time using retinal).
External use only. Not for children. Avoid eyes and skin around the eyes.

3 Key Effects
How this formulation works on your skin
Clearer pores
Retinal targets the root of skin concerns by boosting renewal and reducing imperfections for a clearer, healthier complexion.
Reduced wrinkle depth
Retinal smooths skin texture, diminishing the appearance of deep-set wrinkles.
Collagen boost
Retinal activates skin’s natural repair processes, boosting collagen for firmer and more resilient skin.
RETINOID FORMULA FOR ADVANCED USERS
Enough of dull skin or skin problems
Retinal is the ultimate retinoid for next-level care of problematic skin. It's the perfect formula for you if:
- You’ve outgrown beginner retinoids and want visible improvements faster.
- You want glow and clarity, not flakiness and redness.
- You want to tackle skin problems and improve skin health
BEST ENCAPSULATION IN THE MARKET
Encapsulated Retinal — High Performance, Low Irritation
Retinal is notoriously unstable and irritating — but not here.
We use encapsulation technology to protect the retinal molecule and ensure a controlled, time-released delivery throughout the night. This minimizes sensitivity and maximizes absorption where your skin needs it most.
ADD THIS TO YOUR ROUTINE
How to use
STEP 1
Use in the evening
Start with the lowest concentration of Retinal Level Up and use it only in the evening.
STEP 2
Apply on clean skin
Retinal Level Up works best if it's the first product on your skin, but you can also use a hydrating product first.
STEP 3
Use SPF in the morning
Retinoids can increase your skin's sensitivity to sun (UV rays). That's why we always recommend you use SPF in the morning.

Odličen

Kremo sem kupila po priporočilu kljub temu, da se mi ni zdelo, da bi to moja koža potrebovala. Po nekaj mesecih uporabe pa lahko rečem, da je odlična. Začela sem z nižjim procentom, sedaj pa sem že kupila srednjega. Moja koža jo je hvaležno sprejela, ne povzroča pikanja in iritacije in lepo napne in zgladi kožo. Priporočam.

Koža zelo dobro odreagira, po dveh tednih uporabe se že pozna na predelu nosu, zmanjšan videz por.

Potrosila sam bocicu level up 0.05 retinala i sad presla na 0.15. Nisam imala nikakvih iritacija a svako jutro nakon nanosenja retinala primjetim kako mi je lice sjajno i nekako zagladeno u usporedbi kada ne stavim retinal navecer.

Učinkovit in nežen!
Tudi Expert koncentracija ne povzroča iritacij. Koža je bolj poenotena - ni več tako zategnjena in suha zjutraj in svetleče mastna tekom dneva. Je kar rumen, a me zvečer to ne moti.

Izdelek mi ustreza. Moja koza ga cisto lepo prenasa in zdi se mi, da lepo ucinkuje.

Sviđa mi se kako se Retinal Level Up krema razmazuje, za početak sa oduševljena. Posebno mi je dobro pakiranje jer je praktično. Za rezultat treba pričekati koji tjedan dulje, ali vjerujem da neće izostati.
