MG-HA35 for targeted hydration infusion for visibly plumper, radiant skin and to help reduce
the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

PERFORMANCE INGREDIENTS
Highest Form Of Retinoid Without A Prescription

RETINALDEHYDE (Vitamin A)
pH 5.5
Retinaldehyde is considered the most active form of retinoid (vitamin A) that does not require a prescription.
Retinaldehyde (retinal) can be converted by the body to either retinoic acid or retinol. It has a far greater skin
tolerance when compared to topically applied retinoic acid (tretinoin) or retinol. The risk of retinoid reaction
is significantly reduced. Unlike retinol, studies indicate that retinal possesses many of the skin transformative
properties of retinoic acid. This includes the promotion of collagen production; the regulation of cellular
differentiation and proliferation; an increase in epidermal thickness; and an increase of glycosaminoglycans
(GAGs) deposition, which promotes the ability of the collagen and elastin fibres to retain moisture. Studies
support retinaldehyde’s inherent potency, claiming that it would require 20% retinol to mimic the effects of
just 0.05% retinal. The specific conversion process of retinal, allows for a high concentration and absorption of
vitamin A into the skin with reduced skin inflammation and reaction.

Retinaldehyde increases cellular turnover while slowing down melanosome transfer for balanced melanogenesis.
Perhaps the most important attribute possessed by retinal is its ability to reverse collagen alteration induced
by UVA exposure. This process effectively reverses, prevents and repairs extrinsic ageing of the skin. As
retinaldehyde attaches to cellular retinoid receptors, it further enables regulated cell shape and form.
Retinaldehyde Benefits:
» better tolerated than retinoic acid, making it a good option for those with sensitive or delicate skin
» effectively improves and regulates cellular activity to visibly reduce discolouration and fine lines, wrinkles
and rough skin
» improves skin tone and radiance for generally younger-looking skin
» balances sebaceous (oil) production, shrinking the skin's pores to prevent them from becoming clogged
and inflamed
» improves the feel of firmness and elasticity.
