FAQ
You can switch to 1% retinaldehyde when your skin no longer responds to your current Vitamin A formula. Moreover, no noticeable peeling and sensitivity is a good sign that your skin is ready to move up. We recommend a consistent use of a mid-strength serum for at least 3 to 6 months without irritation before stepping up to the advanced retinaldehyde strength.
We recommend avoiding direct application around the eyes as the skin in this area is thinner and more sensitive. Use a dedicated eye serum for that zone instead.
We advise starting with one to two times a week. Increase the application gradually after your skin starts tolerating the ingredient well.
Yes, oily and acne-prone skin responds particularly well to higher strength Vitamin A. 1% Retinaldehyde helps regulate sebum production, reduce congestion and minimise the appearance of enlarged pores, making it an excellent choice for oily skin types.
Absolutely. Advanced Vitamin A combines 1% retinaldehyde with vitamin C to accelerate cellular turnover that sweeps away dull and tired skin cells, revealing a bright and radiant complexion.
Apply two to three drops to cleansed, dry skin at night before your moisturiser. Start with a few nights a week and gradually build up to nightly use. Always follow with SPF the next morning, and keep the rest of your routine simple and hydrating to support your skin through the process.
Advanced Vitamin A has 1% retinaldehyde, which works at a cellular level to reverse fine lines and wrinkles, while niacinamide and vitamin C target sun-induced dark spots and uneven skin tone.
Results with retinaldehyde take time. It may take around a few weeks to some months for visible results to appear. Be patient and consistent in your usage, and avoid the temptation to use more than recommended.
I have been using DRSQ for about 18 months now including this serum. I believe my skin has overall visibly improved; it is definitely smoother and more radiant. Not only is DRSQ very transparent with their ingredients but they also provide excellent customer service and take care of loyal customers. I have made the change from a high end beauty brand to DRSQ and there is no going back. Thank you DRSQ.
I’ve been using this serum for the last two years and I’m really happy with it
This one deserves a second, proper review from me as it has risen in my ranks to become one of my fave skincare products of all time. I have been using prescription vitamin A (tretinoin) for over ten years now, which is supposed to be the Big Daddy for results. However, I have honestly been seeing better results from this product than I have from the tretinoin. It has a broad spectrum of very powerful antioxidants in the formula and I can only assume this is why I am getting smoother crow's feet and forehead lines with this, compared to the tretinoin. It's an incredible all-rounder for mature skin. I think I'm on my sixth bottle by now :0 A tip for those who are less accustomed to premium, strong vitamin A (like the whopping 1% Retinal in this product), is to start with DRSQ's Miracle ProVitamin serum instead, which seems to be a very similar profile of ingredients to this serum - but just a bit milder for newbies. Personally, I use them both, with the Miracle serum a daily serum and the Advanced A added every second night. It is super lightweight and it spreads incredibly far - two pumps with cover over your entire face and neck. It has a slight yellow cast on application (a really good sign that this is proper Retinal!), but it will quickly absorb and disappear once you put a moisturiser over it. A true 5 star holy grail serum for me. Indispensable.
This product is perfect for my skin type. This is second bottle I am using now.
The best serum yet so far!
