Full details

The Onken Cherry Yogurt 450g is ideal for adults seeking to improve skin elasticity and reduce visible signs of aging. Its primary benefit lies in its potent anti-aging formula enriched with 2% retinal. A potential caveat is that retinal can cause initial skin sensitivity, so gradual introduction is recommended.

FAQs

What is 2% retinal and how does it work?

Retinal is a powerful form of Vitamin A. It works by accelerating skin cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture and firmness.

How often should I use the Onken Cherry Yogurt 450g?

Start by applying it 2-3 times per week on clean, dry skin in the evening. Gradually increase the frequency to nightly as your skin tolerates it. Always use sunscreen during the day.

Can I use this serum with other skincare products?

Yes, but introduce it carefully. Avoid using it in the same routine with other strong actives like AHAs, BHAs, or other retinoids initially. Always follow with a moisturizer. Use sunscreen daily.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?

While formulated for mature skin, the 2% retinal concentration can be potent. It is recommended to do a patch test first and introduce it slowly. If severe irritation occurs, discontinue use or consult a dermatologist.

How long does it take to see results?

Visible results can vary, but many users notice improvements in skin texture and radiance within 4-8 weeks of consistent use. More significant reductions in wrinkles may take several months.

What is the difference between retinal and retinol?

Retinal is a more potent form of Vitamin A than retinol. It converts to retinoic acid in the skin more directly, meaning it can often provide faster results but may also have a higher potential for irritation.

Troubleshooting

Skin redness or peeling upon initial use.

This is a common side effect of retinal. Reduce the frequency of application to once or twice a week and ensure you are using a good moisturizer. Gradually increase usage as your skin adjusts.

Product seems less effective over time.

Ensure you are applying consistently as directed and storing the product correctly to maintain its potency. Consider incorporating other complementary skincare steps.

Experiencing breakouts after starting use.

This can sometimes occur as the skin adjusts. Continue with a reduced frequency if possible and ensure your cleansing routine is thorough. If breakouts persist, consult a dermatologist.
