Why Retinadehyde in Skincare?
There are many forms of Vitamin A that are used for the skin but at what cost of compromising the skin? Vitamin A can be a game changer when deciding to go this direction so we want to dive a little deeper on this relatively interesting form.
Different types are...
- Retinol ( commonly found in least % over counter)
- Retinaldehyde ( only one conversion needed ( no irritation) and used at a HIGH %, safe and non-inflammatory
- Tretinoin (strong and prescribed)
- Tazarotene (typically not for aging)
- Adapalene ( acne generally

What is Retinaldehyde in Osmosis?
With our MD products of Osmosis it is a form of encapsulated Vitamin A with a liposomal delivery to transport retinal across the lipid barrier for a slow release without compromising the skin in the conversion process. You see it's this conversion process that can cause the irritation and peeling of skin which in turn compromises the barrier.
Offering a safe, stabilized ingredient without thinning or damaging skin in the process which is sun safe and has a penetration level above 6x in comparison.
The MD Infusion treatment offers this 30 day remodeling ingredient of retinaldehyde for continuous benefits. Paired with the MD Renew Product for your on- going skin regime.
