Retinaldehyde (Retinal) - Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (Granactive Retinoid) - All Trans Retinol If there was an ingredient that was worthy enough to be deemed “magical” … Vitamin A would be it! Far from fluff, and backed by decades of studies, retinoids are one of the most highly regarded ingredients recommended and used by dermatologists for a reason. What retinoids are in Fusion A? We have created a Super Concentrate of the best options for you – short of an actual prescription (tretinoin/retinoic acid) from your doctor. Retinaldehyde (retinal). This is a retinoic acid precursor. It is one step under pure tretinoin. Mostly studied regarding epidermal thickness in human skin. This has been the strongest non-prescription retinoid available over the counter for decades. Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (Granactive Retinoid). Here is the newest member of the retinoid family. This is an ester of pure retinoic acid. Clinical studies have shown it works very similar to tretinoin. It does not need to be converted by the skin, and is instantly available for the skin upon application. All Trans Retinol (retinol). This is one of the most readily used. It is 2 steps away from the top. It is considered a more tolerable version for those with sensitivity to the strongest forms. Start by choosing the correct percentage. If you are brand new to retinoids, always choose the mildest percentage. That would be our 0.15%. If you are a long-time OTC retinoid user, the 0.25% would be a good option for you. If you are coming directly from the milder forms of tretinoin (0.025 0.030) then our 0.35 is a nice choice. If you are a long-time high strength tretinoin user, then see our Luminosity .55% here as your OTC option. Start by using the product only a couple of times per week. Don’t jump in head-first and use a new retinoid every day. Ease into it! Start with 2 days a week and then add on more as you go. There is no need to be dry and flaking or irritated when starting retinoids.
