What are the different types of retinol?
Tretinoin
Tretinoin is a prescription topical retinoid used in a lower concentration as an anti-aging treatment and in its stronger form to fight acne.
Adapalene
Adapalene is a prescription retinoid commonly used to treat acne. It is known for its anti-inflammatory effect and low absorption rate through human skin. Adapalene is less potent than tretinoin but tends to cause less skin irritation.
Retinol
Retinol, a milder, often over-the-counter form of retinoid, requires retinaldehyde to convert to retinoic acid to be effective. It is advised for anti-aging and does not help treat acne.
Plant-based retinol alternatives
Organic* Harungana extract, nature's retinol alternative. According to Clarins Research, Harungana delivers the same actions on a cellular level as retinol and offers similar anti-aging results. This exclusive Clarins plant-based ingredient was selected from several alternatives for its 'retinol-like' effect, tolerance by even sensitive skin, and non-photosensitivity.
*Organic ingredients are produced in accordance with European regulation (CE 2018/848).
