This is a highly effective anti-ageing night cream for normal skin. I love retinaldehyde as anti-ageing ingredient. As a direct precursor of 'gold standard' vitamin A derivative, tretinoin, not only can the skin use it more efficiently, but it is has also been shown to be less irritating than both tretinoin and high-strength retinol. This product also contains additional soothing ingredients.
Suitable for normal skin.
Oily and combination skin types should avoid this, in my opinion.

How to use:
-
Apply to face, neck and chest each evening, as tolerated

Use after cleansing. Try Jan Marini Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser
-
Might be preceeded by SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel, if additional moisture is needed
-
Don't forget that you need a good antioxidant serum such as SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic; and sun protection such as SkinCeuticals Sun Defense SPF 20 in the morning
