#172) THEY CLAIM THIS WILL WORK! Reviewing Retinal products!
Notes de l’épisode
In this episode, we are diving deep into the retinal (retinaldehyde) landscape to see how current market offerings stack up. Following our technical breakdown of retinol versus retinal, we shift our focus to real-world testing of popular formulations from Krave Beauty, Prequel, Celimax, and Medik8. We examine the scientific validity of concentration ranges—from the entry-level 0.05% to the more intense 0.24%—and discuss how different textures and price points impact the user experience for various skin types. Whether you are a retinoid rookie or a seasoned pro, we provide the detailed assessment on the data to find the right one for your particular skinario.
