From the manufacturer

How does Retinal 0.2% Emulsion support skin concerns?

The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion targets signs of aging, uneven skin tone, and textural irregularities. This high-strength retinoid formulation helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while smoothing the skin’s texture.

When should I use Retinal 0.2% Emulsion?

We recommend applying The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion in the Treat stage of your PM routine—after water-based serums and before heavier creams.

Can I use Retinal 0.2% Emulsion with other ingredients?

The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion should not be used with other retinoids, direct acids, or vitamin C.

Is Retinal 0.2% Emulsion suitable for sensitive skin?

Advanced retinoid formulations may cause irritation, especially for sensitive skin. We recommend performing a patch test before full application to rule out sensitivity.

Does Retinal 0.2% Emulsion increase sun sensitivity?

Yes, this formulation can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun so we recommend it for PM use only. We strongly advise wearing sunscreen if using this product during the day.
