FAQs
What is DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05%, and how does it work?
DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% is a retinaldehyde-based serum designed to deliver potent anti-ageing and skin-correcting benefits while being gentle on sensitive skin. The key ingredient, retinaldehyde, is a form of vitamin A that accelerates skin renewal and boosts collagen production. This serum also incorporates hydroxysome microencapsulation and the Allosteris amplifier, which help the active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin without causing irritation. Enhanced with bakuchiol and soothing botanicals, it reduces fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration, and blemishes, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.
How does DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% differ from traditional retinoids?
Unlike conventional retinoids such as retinol or tretinoin, which can be irritating for some users, retinaldehyde is a more stable and gentler alternative. DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% uses advanced encapsulation technology, ensuring a slower and controlled release of retinaldehyde into the skin. This means you can enjoy the anti-ageing and skin-correcting benefits without the common side effects like redness, peeling, or irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin or first-time retinoid users.
Can I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% if I have sensitive skin?
Absolutely. This serum is specifically formulated with sensitive skin in mind. The inclusion of calming botanicals, such as bakuchiol, ensures that even those prone to irritation can benefit from retinaldehydeโs transformative effects. DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% avoids the harshness traditionally associated with retinoids and provides a gentler introduction to retinoid use, helping reduce redness and discomfort.
When will I start seeing results from using DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05%?
While results can vary depending on individual skin concerns, most users begin to notice improvements in their skinโs texture, tone, and brightness within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use. Fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes will gradually soften, and with regular use, you can expect more dramatic improvements in pigmentation, overall radiance, and skin clarity over time.
Can DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% help with acne and blemishes?
Yes, this serum is suitable for targeting blemishes and acne-prone skin. Retinaldehyde is known to improve cell turnover and prevent clogged pores, which helps reduce and prevent blemishes. The inclusion of bakuchiol and soothing botanicals also ensures that the serum works to calm the skin while addressing acne-related issues, making it an effective solution for both anti-ageing and blemish-prone skin.
How often should I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05%?
For first-time users of retinoids or those with sensitive skin, it is recommended to start with using the serum 2-3 times a week in the evening. As your skin builds tolerance, you can gradually increase usage to every other night or even nightly. Always follow with a moisturiser, and donโt forget to wear SPF during the day, as retinoids can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
Can I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% alongside other skincare products?
Yes, DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% can be incorporated into your existing skincare routine. However, you should avoid using other active ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide on the same nights, as these can increase irritation. Instead, focus on hydrating and calming products alongside the serum to enhance its effects and maintain your skin's moisture barrier.
Is DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% safe for long-term use?
Absolutely. Retinaldehyde is a stable and gentle form of vitamin A that can be used long-term to maintain skin health and youthful appearance. Continued use will support collagen production, improve skin texture, and protect against future signs of ageing. As with all retinoids, the key to success is consistency, and using DermaQuest RiQ Retinal 0.05% over time will lead to lasting improvements in skin quality.
