Hydroxysome Retinaldehyde

Hydroxysomes Retinaldehyde overcomes the historic instability and irritation barriers associated with potent retinoids by utilizing a sophisticated, patented co-engineering delivery system. Retinaldehyde is a highly effective, direct precursor to retinoic acid, offering superior anti-aging potency—approximately 20 times more potent than retinol—yet it is notoriously unstable in pure form. By encapsulating retinaldehyde within the Hydroxysomes® carrier, LSC ensures the molecule remains highly stable within a wide range of cosmetic formulations for up to 24 months. Upon topical application, the system provides a sustained release of both retinaldehyde and calcium into the epidermis. This dual-action approach not only stimulates deep-tissue collagen and elastin synthesis for improved firmness and skin thickness, but the simultaneous calcium release actively repairs the skin barrier, mitigating the dryness and irritation typically associated with high-potency retinoid treatments.
