Why Retinal Is the Glow-Boosting Step Your Skincare Routine Needs
If your skin’s been looking a little tired, dull, or uneven lately — it might be time to introduce a new hero into your routine: retinal.
You’ve probably heard of retinol, but retinal is its gentler, more effective sister. Both are Vitamin A derivatives that help boost cell turnover and improve texture, but retinal works faster — giving you smoother, glowier skin with less irritation.
As a busy mum, I need products that work, without leaving me red or flaky (because who has time for that?). That’s why I’ve been loving Tropic’s Youth Potion Retinal+ Complex. It’s designed to deliver all the brightening, firming benefits of Vitamin A — while still being kind to sensitive skin.
✨ Why I Love It:
It’s gentle but powerful – retinal gets to work quicker than retinol but is far less harsh.
It boosts glow + smooths texture – I notice softer, more radiant skin after just a few uses.
It layers beautifully – I use it after cleansing and toning, before moisturiser at night.
It’s plant-based and sustainably made – like all Tropic products, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and freshly made in the UK.
If you’ve been nervous to try Vitamin A, this is your sign to start — and Tropic’s formula makes it easy to love. 🌿
