In reply to chicklus. Chicklus, you can't really compare the two because they use different forms of vitamin A at different levels. It would be like comparing apples to oranges. What you can do is try a product with retinal, which has a cheaper price points, and see if your skin reacts better to it than retinol.

In reply to Cristina. Cristina, you make a good point. I guess their selling point is that you can use these 2 forms of retinoids together, which they say works better. Personally, I'm happy with the results I've got, but using retinal + ceramides may work too. Need to try that. :)

I really do not see the point of using this product instead of the Crystal Retinal. The Retinyl Retinoate is less “potent”than retinaldeyde anyway. As for the ceramides, one can add any cheap cream to provide them without spending this crazy amount of money. The only reason to buy it would be to be able to use this cream during the day but i doubt it would not pill under make up and not stain clothes (given the fact that retinaldeyde in general does that and you mention the orangey color ) . Also, it is really necessary to use it twice a day? 🙂 I doubt it!
