Retinaldehyde

Retinaldehyde, commonly shortened to Retinal, is an advanced Vitamin A derivative that sits closer than Retinol to the skin’s natural chemical pathway to active vitamin A. As Retinal is only one conversion step away from active Vitamin A compared to two for Retinol, Retinal is known for its faster-acting performance.

Retinal helps visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, texture irregularities and other signs of skin ageing — while remaining suitable for a well-formulated, gentle skincare routine.

Dr Mayson’s three Retinal Serums are:

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are one of the most valuable ingredient families in modern skincare because they help defend the skin against the visible effects of daily environmental stress.

UV exposure, pollution and other external aggressors can generate free radicals, which contribute to dullness, uneven tone, loss of radiance and premature-looking skin ageing.

Many Dr Mayson’s products are formulated with antioxidant-rich ingredients to help support fresher, brighter, healthier-looking skin — reinforcing the brand’s philosophy of protecting, refining and visibly improving the skin every day.

Squalane

Squalane is a lightweight emollient that mimics the feel of the skin’s natural oils. It helps soften, smooth and hydrate the skin while supporting the moisture barrier and reducing water loss — without leaving a greasy feel and helping the complexion look plumper, calmer, more supple and more comfortably hydrated.

Dr Mayson’s Squalane-containing products include:

L-Glutathione

L-Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free-radical damage caused by daily environmental stressors, including UV exposure and pollution.

In skincare, it is valued for helping promote a brighter, more even-looking complexion by supporting the visible appearance of tone, clarity and radiance.

L-Carnitine

A naturally occurring amino-acid with sebum-regulating properties, it helps to improve skin barrier function and promote skin hydration.

How to use

Avoid getting into eyes.

IMPORTANT: Do not apply in the evenings if using Dr Mayson's Skin Rejuvenation Formula at bedtime as the serum will block its absorption. Instead, apply in the mornings after cleanser and before moisturiser.
