Retinal 0.2% Barrier Serum for Mature, Sensitive Skin

5.0 Stars (15 Reviews)

Gentle retinal night serum for mature, sensitive skin. Smoother-looking lines and texture, without the retinol drama.

Retinaldehyde — the form of vitamin A one step from retinoic acid — at 0.2%, a level chosen for tolerance, buffered with a full barrier complex so mature skin can use it night after night.

If retinol ever left you red, flaking or quitting after two weeks, you're not alone. Mature skin is drier and recovers more slowly, and most vitamin A routines are simply too harsh for it.

Retinol has to convert twice before skin can use it. Retinal converts once. That's why 0.2% retinal can do meaningful work at a gentle level. Ceramide NP, centella, beta-glucan and bisabolol keep skin comfortable, while ergothioneine and vitamin E act as antioxidants overnight.

  • Smoother-looking fine lines and texture with consistent evening use
  • More even, radiant-looking tone
  • Buffered with ceramides to minimize flaking and dryness
  • Fragrance-free; airless pump keeps retinal stable to the last drop
  • About 60 applications per bottle
  • PM only. Wear SPF daily; don't layer with other vitamin A or strong exfoliants

Pair it with PDRN in the Evening PM Set

Estimated delivery: October 04.

    My skin needed this

    I spent way too much time in the sun on my last trip and my skin was not happy with me after 😅. It felt dry and just looked kinda tired. I started using this retinal once I got back and I really like it. My skin feels smoother and looks a lot more fresh now. I’m still keeping my routine pretty simple but this has definitely become one of my favorites.

    My daughter got me started

    My daughter gave me this because she said I needed to start taking better care of my skin 😂. I had never used retinal before so I really didn’t know what to expect. I started with a little and my skin has been doing just fine with it. I like how my face feels after using it and it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. Guess I should’ve listened to my daughter sooner.

    I’m really liking this

    I wasn’t sure about trying retinal at first. I’ve got pretty sensitive skin and usually I have to be careful with new products. I started with a little bit and my skin has been fine with it. I like how smooth my skin feels in the morning and it looks a bit more fresh too. Nothing complicated, just part of my night routine now. I’ll definitely keep using it.

    Didn’t expect to like retinal this much

    I was a little nervous to try retinal because some products have been way too much for my skin. I started using just a little and my skin has been doing really well with it. It feels smoother and just looks a little fresher. I like that my face doesn’t feel dry after using it either. I’m gonna keep using it and see how it goes. I’m pretty happy with it.

    My first retinol

    This is actually my first time using retinol. I’ve started noticing a few signs of aging and figured it was time to add something to my routine. I like taking care of my skin so I decided to give this one a try. I had heard retinol can be pretty irritating at first, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But honestly, it’s been really good to my skin. It feels pretty gentle and I haven’t had any major irritation. So I’m really happy with it.

MISOORA evening routine. Built to work together

Step 1 — MISOORA Cleanser

Start with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser. Pat skin until damp — not dripping. Damp skin absorbs actives faster and deeper. 

Step 2 — MISOORA Retinal Serum

Evening is when retinal works best — skin repair cycles peak overnight. Apply before PDRN on dry skin.

Step 3 — MISOORA PDRN+EXOSOME+EGF Serum

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a cellular repair signal that works synergistically with retinal. Apply immediately after retinal, press gently in.

Step 3 — MISOORA Moisturizer

Seal the serum in with your moisturizer. Follow immediately with SPF 30 or higher. The moisturizer locks the NAD+ actives in place and extends their working time through the day.
