Retinaldehyde

Retinaldehyde is a type of retinoid, which is a derivative of vitamin A. It is commonly used in skincare products due to its ability to promote cell turnover and increase collagen production, which can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Retinaldehyde is generally considered to be a stronger retinoid compared to retinyl acetate. Retinaldehyde is closer to the active form of vitamin A (retinoic acid) than retinyl acetate, which means it can more easily convert to retinoic acid in the skin. It is also available in different strengths and formulations to cater to different skincare needs.
