FULL OVERVIEW

RETINAL ACTIVE™ is an advanced Vitamin A corrective formulation designed to support skin renewal, improve visible signs of ageing, and enhance overall skin quality.

Powered by Retinaldehyde (Retinal)—a highly active yet well-tolerated form of Vitamin A—it works to regulate cellular turnover, improve skin structure, and support collagen production.

Enhanced with a dual-delivery system, including Calphasomes™ (Hydroxyapatite) and HylaFuse™ multi-weight hyaluronic acid, RETINAL ACTIVE™ enables controlled penetration of active ingredients while maintaining hydration and skin comfort. This formulation is approved for both pre- and post-procedure use within microneedling and clinical rejuvenation protocols.

WHY VITAMIN A IS CRITICAL IN SKIN REGENERATION

Vitamin A is one of the most clinically validated ingredients in aesthetic medicine. It plays a central role in:

  • Regulating cellular turnover and differentiation
  • Supporting collagen and elastin production
  • Improving epidermal thickness and skin density
  • Reducing visible signs of ageing and photodamage

RETINAL ACTIVE™ uses Retinaldehyde, which offers:

  • Higher biological activity than retinol
  • Better skin tolerance than retinoic acid
  • Effective conversion within the skin for optimal results

This makes it suitable for progressive skin correction without excessive irritation.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Promotes skin renewal and cellular turnover
  • Improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and texture
  • Supports collagen production and skin firmness
  • Enhances skin tone, clarity, and radiance
  • Helps regulate oil production and reduce congestion
  • Improves hydration within and around skin cells
  • Supports visible improvement in scars and uneven skin texture
  • Suitable for long-term skin correction programs

INDICATIONS

  • Ageing and photodamaged skin
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
  • Acne-prone or congested skin
  • Scarring and textural irregularities

IN-CLINIC USE

RETINAL ACTIVE™ is integrated into professional protocols as:

Pre-Treatment Conditioning
Prepares the skin by improving cellular turnover, enhances responsiveness to procedures.

Post-Treatment Support

Its use within microneedling protocols supports progressive, cumulative skin improvement.

HOME USE

Used as part of a structured evening routine:

  • Apply to clean, dry skin (face, neck, décolleté)

It is essential for maintaining long-term skin correction between treatments.

Regular use may contribute to smoother-looking skin, enhanced radiance, and improved overall skin clarity as part of a long-term skincare strategy.

Yes. Retinal Active is often incorporated into professional skincare plans to complement treatments such as microneedling and advanced skin rejuvenation procedures. Combining corrective homecare with professional treatments helps support treatment consistency and long-term skin maintenance.

Retinal Active may be suitable for a wide range of skin types depending on individual skin condition, tolerance, and treatment goals. Because active renewal-focused products can increase skin sensitivity, professional guidance is recommended to ensure proper integration into a personalized skincare routine.

Retinal Active is typically applied in the evening after cleansing and before moisturizer, following provider recommendations. Consistent use alongside hydration and daily SPF protection helps support progressive improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall skin appearance over time.

Real Clinics. Outstanding Results.

I am very impressed with the results I've seen on my patients after treating them. The procedure is very easily tolerated by the patient, there is minimal downtime and it's cost effective.

Dp4 Microneedling is an advanced treatment with impressive results, we find it perfect as a combination therapy with for instance PRP. It is very rare to find a relatively simple and cost effective device.

Carina AgdeliusNurse & Clinic Owner

As an experienced Aesthetic Doctor, I have no hesitation in recommending the Dp4 as one of the top non-surgical procedures for skin tightening, lifting and for the treatment of scars.
