PROVEN TO HELP SKIN LOOK YOUNGER FOR LONGER.

The CEL™ complex acts at the cellular level on mechanisms related to aging for firmer, smoother, and more resilient skin over time.

RETINOL, AS SEEN BY OUR EXPERTS

OPTIMIZE YOUR SKIN AGING

CEL™ COMPLEX - PATENT PENDING

Helps reduce cellular stress to recreate optimal conditions for proper skin function. It combines botanical extracts, peptides, and exosomes. Finalist for the 2026 IMCAS Innovation Award.

ENCAPSULATED RETINAL

Retinal is 11× more effective than retinol. Ours is encapsulated for gradual release and stability, which contributes to its high tolerance, even for sensitive skin.

ELIMINATES ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR DISCONTINUING RETINOL

Independently tested on 20 women with sensitive skin. Excellent tolerance.

TESTED FOR THE ABSENCE OF ESTROGENIC AND ANDROGENIC ENDOCRINE DISRUPTION.

Some substances can disrupt the natural functioning of our hormones: these are called endocrine disruptors. Looking at each ingredient separately is not enough. Once combined in the same formula, they can interact and produce a different effect. This is known as the cocktail effect.
This is why we test every product in its final formula, exactly as it will be applied to the skin.

FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Retinal or retinol: what is the difference?

Retinal, or retinaldehyde, is one step closer to the active form of vitamin A than retinol: it requires only a single conversion step in the skin, compared to two for retinol. This conversion has been measured to be up to eleven times faster in the laboratory. The CEL™ Retinal Serum contains 0.15% of it, encapsulated for gradual release.

Does retinal cause the skin to peel or turn red?

This is what makes people give up on retinol most often: flaking, tightness, and redness during the first few weeks. The retinal in the CEL™ Retinal Serum is encapsulated in a Protium heptaphyllum resin, which releases it gradually instead of all at once. The serum was tested on 20 women with sensitive skin, aged 35 to 60. A reaction is still possible: start by using it every other evening for three weeks.

Does retinal cause purging, with breakouts at the beginning?

Purging is a breakout of imperfections that sometimes occurs when starting a retinoid: by accelerating cell turnover, it causes blemishes that were already forming to surface more quickly. It is more common with potent, immediate-release retinoids. If breakouts occur, space out the applications instead of stopping.

Is it suitable for all skin types?

Yes. Thanks to its encapsulation technology and its combination with the CEL™ Complex, the serum is designed to offer optimal tolerance, even for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Sensitive, reactive, or redness-prone skin: can it be used?

Yes, that is the profile on which the serum was tested: 20 women with sensitive skin, aged 35 to 60, over 28 days. The encapsulation avoids the concentration spike responsible for most reactions. In case of rosacea or an eczema flare-up, seek your dermatologist's advice before starting.

Can retinal be used in the summer?

Yes, by applying it in the evening and using sunscreen in the morning. Retinoids do not make the skin photosensitive in the allergic sense, but they accelerate cell turnover, and the new skin is more vulnerable to UV rays. In case of intense exposure, space out applications.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. Retinoids, including retinal, are not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Does retinal act on dark spots?

Retinoids improve skin tone evenness by accelerating surface cell turnover. In a 28-day test, 95% of participants found their skin smoother, firmer, and more even.

Excellent

Des produits fabuleux. J'adore votre philosophie. J'espère pouvoir en racheter !

espoir de bons résultats

J'adore tous vos produits. Ils ont vraiment amélioré la qualité et le confort de ma peau mature (j'ai 75 ans).

Comme j'ai la peau extrêmement sensible, j'utilise le rétinal avec précaution (1 à 2 fois par semaine). Pour l'instant, aucune irritation, mais ma peau est un peu sèche le lendemain.
Je reste très optimiste.

Prometteur

Je viens juste d'utiliser ce sérum et n'ai donc pas assez de retour sur son efficacité. Je peux néanmoins confirmer qu'il n'agresse pas la peau, qu'il est facile à utiliser, qu'il n'est pas gras sur la peau. Sérum prometteur pour le peu d'utilisations à ce jour.

Tolérance optimale

Très bonne expérience. L'application du sérum est agréable et confortable pour la peau. Excellente tolérance. Impression d'une peau un peu plus ferme depuis 1mois et demi d'utilisation. Seul bémol : le sérum disparait un peu trop vite (faible quantité pour un usage au quotidien)

Bonjour,
Nous recommandons d'appliquer 3 à 5 gouttes pour le visage et le coup (a appliquer sur un visage tres légèrement humecte pour faciliter sa diffusion). Sur cette base d'utlisation et en l'appliquant tous les soirs, le serum va durer 3 mois.

Efficacité au rdv !

Ma peau sensible le tolère et les résultats sont là. Ma peau est lumineuse, mon mari m’a demandé si j’étais maquillée ce we . non pq? Tu as bonne mine ma chérie . J’utilise toute la gamme de la marque et je vais bientôt acheter les pré/ pro biotiques pour voir si cela va agir sur les symptômes de la ménopause. En toute confiance.

Belle innovation

Le gel est très agréable et la peau est très repulpée au réveil. Un super produit, utilisable également le matin contrairement à la majorité des produits au rétinol 👌

Un must have

Excellent produit qui, combiné à la crème de nuit, garantit une peau lumineuse et rebondie au réveil.
Tous les avantages du rétinol dans une formule douce sans les inconvénients majeurs du rétinol (rougeur, irritation).
Je recommande chaudement comme tous les produits Skin Diligent que j'ai à présent adopté au quotidien.

J'aime beaucoup

J'avais toujours craint d'utiliser un retinol par peur que ce soit un peu irritant. J'ai malgré tout tenté ma chance en lisant votre descriptif et je suis bluffé par ses effets. Je ne l'utilise encore qu'un soir sur 2 apres 4 semaines mais je compte passer a 2 jours sur 3 tres vite, voire tous les soirs.

Celine (France)
Produit vraiment performant

3 semaines d’utilisation et ma peau est plus lumineuse, mon teint plus uniforme et surtout mon grain de peau plus fin, les pores plus serrés.
Une première pour tous ces avantages combinés.
J’étais hésitante car ma peau est assez sensible mais aucune sensation de chauffe, picotements…
Bravo Skin Diligent 😍
