Paula's Choice Clinical Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment 30ml
Prescription-level results. No prescription required. Paula's Choice Clinical Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment is a high-potency, dermatologically tested formula clinically proven to help improve texture, reduce lines and enhance luminosity in just two to eight weeks. It combines 0.1% retinaldehyde — the closest over-the-counter retinoid to prescription-strength retinoic acid — with Adapinoid® (oleyl adapalenate), an oil-soluble retinoid that promotes clear, blemish-free skin. DESCRIPTION What sets this formula apart is its patented calcium encapsulation system: calcium encapsulation protects and gradually releases the retinoids throughout the day, reducing irritation while enhancing efficacy. Supporting ingredients including pomegranate peel extract, jojoba seed oil and mushroom extract help soothe, moisturise and gently address multiple signs of ageing alongside the retinoid actives. Free from parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates, mineral oil, sulphates SLS & SLES and synthetic fragrance. Vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. HOW TO USE Start with 3x per week and gradually increase frequency to every night as tolerated. Apply 1–2 pumps over face and neck, avoiding contact with eyes. Blend thoroughly. For daytime, follow with sunscreen. New to retinoids? Begin on non-consecutive evenings and allow 4–6 weeks for skin to fully adjust before increasing to nightly use. The natural yellow/orange hue of retinaldehyde is completely normal and expected. Not recommended during pregnancy — consult your healthcare provider if unsure.
