Hydroxysomes® Retinaldehyde

LABORATORY SKIN CARE®, INC. (LSC) has developed a novel method for co-engineering retinaldehyde (retinal) with its patented Hydroxysomes® dermal delivery platform. Retinal is a direct precursor to retinoic acid providing the same therapeutic benefits as retinoic acid while eliminating skin irritation. However, it is highly unstable in its pure form. Hydroxysomes® stabilizes retinaldehyde for use in topical formulations.

Retinoids are natural antioxidants, improving skin texture by enhancing its firmness and thickness.

Retinoids’ natural metabolic pathway in the body is as follows:

Vitamin A ► Retinol ► Retinaldehyde ► Retinoic Acid (Rx)

Topical application of retinol only delivers 2% of the retinoids into the skin
The remaining retinol pool remains on the skin causing irritation
Retinaldehyde is 20x more potent than retinol, and it is not irritating

KEY FEATURES OF Hydroxysomes® Retinaldehyde

Sustained Release

Highly Stable

Non-Irritating

Retinal & Calcium Delivery

Skin Regeneration

Stimulates Collagen & Elastin Production

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF Hydroxysomes® Retinaldehyde

Hydroxysomes® Retinaldehyde also delivers calcium to the skin which enhances the effect of retinaldehyde. Delivering retinaldehyde and calcium simultaneously provides integrated anti-aging properties for younger looking skin.

ANTI-AGING EFFECTS OF CALCIUM
Calcium restores the skin’s normal balance by repairing the barrier function and maintaining the barrier integrity of stratum corneum (SC). A healthy skin barrier improves firmness, cellular cohesion, and hydration, allowing skin’s youthful appearance. Calcium plays a significant role in skin differentiation, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
