Ingredient	Estimated concentration
aloe barbadensis leaf water Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but data on its effectiveness is lacking. While the majority of the content is plain water, it can contain some goodies like vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and humectants that help attract water into the skin	23% - 34%
niacinamide Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production	5.3% - 7.9%
cyclodextrin A type of sugar that is used to support delivery of active ingredients and can enhance their penetration into the skin without disrupting the skin's barrier	4.5% - 6.7%
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	3.9% - 5.8%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	2.7% - 4%
carnitine	2.5% - 3.8%
retinal One step removed from the biologically active in skin form of vitamin A. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinal is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. Concentrations of 0.05% and 0.1% are shown to be effective. It can, however, be irritating	1.5% - 2.2%
phenylethyl resorcinol Might help reduce hyperpigmentation in skin and help neutralize free radicals	1.2% - 1.9%
bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties	1.1% - 1.6%
porphyra umbilicalis extract An algae extract that can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have an anti-oxidant effect in skin but evidence is lacking	0.95% - 1.45%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	0.85% - 1.25%
polysorbate 20 Helps oil and water mix together	0.55% - 1.25%

rubus chamaemorus seed oil A berry extract that can have some anti-oxidant properties. It helps to preserve product formulations and improve their smell. It can be irritating	0.45% - 1.05%
vaccinium macrocarpon fruit extract A berry extract. Might have some anti-oxidant properties	0.45% - 1%

michelia alba flower oil A plant essential oil. Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	0.4% - 0.9%

Does Retinaldehyde really work?

In addition to promoting cell turnover, it has the ability to unclog pores by acting as an effective exfoliant. It also works to balance the production of oil, thereby making the pores smaller and less likely to become inflamed, which is why retinaldehyde is commonly found in products designed to treat acne.

How do you use skin Script Retinaldehyde serum?

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) provides anti-inflamatory benefits; both vitamins nourish the skin and assist in boosting collagen. Apply in the evening to face, neck and décolleté after cleansing. Shake well before use. Apply in the evening after cleansing and toning.

Is Retinaldehyde more effective than retinol?

Retinaldehydes are retinoids up to 20 times more powerful than retinol due to its closer proximity to retinoic acid. And even though it's still a bit rare in many skin care products, it may be the key ingredient to fighting photoaging.

Can I use Retinaldehyde every night?

Safe for day and night use Retinaldehyde will not over-exfoliate your skin and cause sun-sensitivity the way other vitamin A products can sun, so it's safe to use day and night.
