Misoora Skincare
Retinal 0.2% Barrier Serum for Mature, Sensitive Skin
$35.00
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

- CACarol A.Rated 5 out of 5 stars9 hours agoreally liking this
No crazy dryness or anything like that. I’m gonna keep using it because I really like how my skin looks lately. Simple and works for me!
- SPSusan p.Rated 5 out of 5 stars9 hours agoDidn’t expect to like retinal this much
I was a little nervous to try retinal but 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.
- KKatherineVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoSo Glad I Listened to My Esthetician
This was my first time using a retinal serum, and I'm so glad I took my esthetician's recommendation! I was a little surprised by the bright yellow color at first, but after seeing the results, I completely understood why everyone loves retinal.
The serum feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare. After just a short time, my skin looked smoother, brighter, and more even. I wake up every morning with healthy-looking, glowing skin.
This has officially become a must-have in my routine. I honestly can't imagine my skincare without it now!
- SSydnieVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoEffective, but not aggressive
I’ve been using different retinol products for over a year, and honestly, I was starting to feel frustrated. Most of them either felt too harsh or didn’t really do much.
Misoora Retinal 0.2% is the first retinal serum that feels like it actually works with my skin, not against it.
It’s strong enough to feel like it’s actually working, but still comfortable on my skin. No heavy irritation, no “my skin is angry” feeling, just smoother, fresher-looking skin over time.
I also love that it supports the skin barrier, because with retinal, that really matters.
- BLBeatrice L.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agofinally a retinal for rosacea-prone skin
I'm rosacea prone so retinoids usually = disaster. This one I worked up very slowly and my skin tolerated it beautifully. No new flushing. After 6 weeks my complexion is more unified and those tomato-toned patches on my cheeks have calmed. Cautiously thrilled.
