After a skincare product that’ll target wrinkles, acne and texture quickly and effectively without a series of lengthy trips to the dermatologist? This brand-new Paula’s Choice Retinaldehyde treatment promises derm-level results without a prescription – and we’re absolutely hooked. In an industry where new retinol serums are a dime a dozen, Paulas’s Choice – everyone’s favourite results-driven skincare brand, has just gone one step further, releasing a new treatment serum that combines two skincare heavy hitters for stunning skin. Fast.

Designed to dramatically improve wrinkles and eliminate breakouts without the irritation that often comes with retinoids, the Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment has been clinically proven to promote smooth, clear skin, giving users drastic results in no time at all. Paula’s Choice Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment Designed to dramatically improve wrinkles and eliminate breakouts without the irritation that often comes with retinoids, the Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment has been clinically proven to promote smooth, clear skin, giving users drastic results in no time at all. ‘It’s great for anyone with multiple concerns related to texture, tone, and sun damage including uneven tone, rough, bumpy texture, post blemish marks, lack of luminosity and signs of ageing.

’ Paula’s Choice Education Manager, Heather Wish, told Metro. ‘It ticks so many boxes! It’s for people who have concerns about wrinkles, texture and colour changes due to years of sun damage, but can also really help those suffering with congestion and wondering how to manage it while also targeting signs of ageing.’ In fact, in a clinical study on 44 subjects, after just eight weeks of use 100% had improved texture and lines.

It doesn’t get much better than that. But what makes this treatment serum so groundbreaking? The Paulas’s Choice Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment is the closest retinoid to prescription potency, clinically proven to improve visible signs of ageing for smooth texture and clear, glowing skin. ‘It’s great for those seeking results similar to prescription-level treatments like tretinoin but without the skin irritation or hassle of getting a prescription, and it’s suitable for all skin types.

’ Says Heather. This is all thanks to the world first dual-retinoid formula that combines Retinaldehyde and Oleyl Adapalenate. Retinaldehyde (or Retinal, for those in the know), a form of retinol that is a precursor to retinoic acid, is able to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing, also improving the appearance of blemish-prone skin.

Oleyl Adapalenate (Adapinoid) is a synthetic precursor to the retinoid adapalene that is used to help smooth skin texture, soften lines and reduce the look of pores and blemishes. Adapalene is a trusted acne-busting ingredient you’re likely to pick up from your doctors, which is what makes this dual-retinoid serum so special. You’ve got near-prescription ingredients at your fingers giving just as impressive results.

You’ll also find some pomegranate peel extract in there – a potent source of antioxidants that helps promote healthy collagen production and soothe UV and free radical damage. Together, this cocktail of skin loving ingredients is set to leave you with clearer skin, fewer breakouts and a reduction in wrinkles. Truly, your best skin yet.

‘I’ve never used a high strength retinoid without having to go through a period of dryness, or mild irritation...

until this product !’ Heather told us.
