"Retinal B3 Serum is one of my favorite next steps once acne is under control. Unlike many retinoids at this price point, it’s formulated with ingredients that help offset dryness and irritation, so it feels more balanced. It not only supports clear skin by preventing new breakouts and calming inflammation, but also helps with oil control, fading dark spots, and softening early signs of aging."

Powered by Retinaldehyde and Niacinamide

This formula pairs retinaldehyde—a potent but less irritating vitamin A derivative—with 5% niacinamide to visibly refine skin while supporting barrier health. It helps reduce clogged pores, breakouts, fine lines, and discoloration, making it a true multitasker for complex skin needs.

Retinaldehyde

Powerful vitamin A derivative that offers similar anti-aging and acne-fighting benefits as retinol, but works faster with less irritation.

Niacinamide

Multi-tasking skincare ingredient that helps improve skin tone, texture, and barrier function.

Glycolic Acid

The smallest molecular size of all AHAs, allowing it to penetrate deeply and effectively exfoliate the skin’s surface.

Gentle Enough for Sensitive, Acne-Prone Skin

Unlike traditional retinoids, retinaldehyde works without causing major dryness or flaking. It’s encapsulated for slow, controlled delivery, so your skin gets all the benefits with a lower risk of irritation or purging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Retinal B3 Serum do?

It helps increase skin cell turnover to prevent clogged pores, smooth rough texture, fade dark spots, and soften fine lines. It’s a powerful blend of retinoid and barrier-supporting ingredients made for acne-prone skin.

How is this different from regular retinol?

Retinaldehyde is one conversion step closer to active retinoic acid than retinol, so it works faster—but it’s still gentle. The encapsulated formula also reduces the likelihood of redness or irritation, even on sensitive skin.

Can I use it if I’m breaking out?

Yes, it’s formulated for acne-prone skin. It clears pores and reduces inflammation while fading discoloration from past breakouts. Start slow and pair it with hydrating support for best results.

How often should I use it?

Begin with 2–3 nights per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually build to nightly use. Always apply at night and follow with moisturizer. Daily SPF is a must when using any retinoid.

Can I use this with Acne Med or Mandelic Serum?

Yes—but not all at once. Alternate nights between active treatments to avoid over-exfoliation or dryness. Your esthetician can help you build a schedule that supports your skin without overwhelming it.
