Q: What is retinaldehyde and how is it different from retinol?
A: Retinaldehyde is a Vitamin A precursor that is one step closer to retinoic acid (the active form) than retinol, making it more potent and faster-acting. It's easily converted by the skin for enhanced efficacy while being well tolerated, providing superior anti-aging results with less potential irritation than traditional retinol.

Q: How does Retivance combine multiple anti-aging technologies?
A: Retivance is a revolutionary combination of retinaldehyde for cellular renewal, peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5) for tone and texture improvement, and antioxidants (Vitamins C and E) for environmental protection. This synergistic blend works together to provide enhanced results beyond what single-ingredient products can achieve.

Q: Why does this formula include chamomile extract?
A: Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract acts as a skin calming and soothing agent to help reduce irritation. This makes Retivance well tolerated even with the potent retinaldehyde, allowing for effective anti-aging benefits without excessive irritation or redness.

Q: Can I use this if I'm new to retinoids?
A: Yes, start with every other evening application if you're new to retinaldehyde, gradually building to nightly use as your skin develops tolerance. The formula includes soothing ingredients like chamomile, shea butter, and conditioning oils that help minimize irritation during the adjustment period.

Q: What visible results can I expect?
A: Clinical studies show improvements in skin texture, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhanced firmness and elasticity, decreased appearance of redness, and reduced roughness. The combination of retinaldehyde, peptides, and antioxidants provides comprehensive anti-aging benefits.

Q: How does this improve skin texture?
A: Retinaldehyde promotes cellular turnover and collagen production, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 improves tone and texture, and wheat germ oil enhances the feel and texture of skin. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to refine skin surface and improve overall smoothness.

Q: Why must I wear SPF 30 daily with this product?
A: Retinaldehyde increases skin's photosensitivity, making sun protection essential. Daily SPF 30+ prevents sun damage, protects your skin investment, and maximizes the anti-aging benefits of Retivance by preventing new damage while the formula corrects existing concerns.

Q: Can I use this with other SuzanObagiMD products?
A: Yes, Retivance works well with other SuzanObagiMD products. Use Claribright for brightening in the morning, and Retivance in the evening for anti-aging. Always apply Retivance to clean, dry skin before other evening products, and follow with moisturizer if needed.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
A: While Retivance contains soothing ingredients like chamomile and conditioning oils, retinaldehyde is a potent active. If you have sensitive skin, start with twice-weekly application and gradually increase frequency. The well-tolerated formula is designed to minimize irritation while delivering results.

Q: Do you ship internationally from Ireland and what about customs?
A: Yes, we ship worldwide from our Irish facility.
