Retinaldehyde
Retinaldehyde (also called retinal) is a vitamin A derivative used in skincare. It’s considered one of the most effective over-the-counter anti-aging and acne-fighting ingredients because it works faster than retinol while often causing less irritation than prescription retinoids.

Trans-Retinal,also called Retinaldehydeor Retinal is a derivative formed after the oxidation of retinol. Trans-Retinal is produced by the oxidative cleavage of β-carotene and can be reduced to retinol or oxidized to retinoic acid. Retinaldehyde is an intermediate metabolic product of natural retinoic acid and is the only natural vitamin A with similar biological activity to retinoic acid but is milder than retinoic acid. Clinical studies have shown that the conversion of retinaldehyde to retinoic acid is 11 times faster than that of retinol (Retinol 11), and it stimulates collagen production 1000 times more than retinol.
After Retinaldehyde being absorbed by the skin, the majority of it is converted into retinol esters and stored for slow release. A small amount of Trans-Retinal is oxidized by the skin’s keratin-forming cells in a differentiation-dependent manner into retinoic acid, and a very small amount of retinoic acid can already exert significant biological effects within the cells.Retinaldehyde can prevent the adverse skin reactions caused by large doses of retinoic acid.
