Aspect Retinal LGS+ 30ml is an advanced evening renewal serum combining three Vitamin A derivatives, a blue-green algae-derived phytoretinoid and a multi-acid exfoliating complex. Developed for experienced active-skincare users, it targets fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, visible pores, congestion, blemishes, dullness and discolouration within one intensive formula.
The Vitamin A complex combines Retinal, Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate. Retinal, also known as Retinaldehyde, requires one conversion step within the skin to become Retinoic Acid, while Retinol requires two conversion steps and Retinyl Palmitate undergoes additional conversion. This combination provides several forms of cosmetic Vitamin A support.
Lanablue™, derived from Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae blue-green algae, provides retinoid-like resurfacing support without itself being a true retinoid. Lactic and Glycolic Acids exfoliate the skin’s surface, Salicylic Acid works within oily pores, and Kojic Acid targets uneven-looking pigmentation.
Lactococcus Ferment Lysate and Lysolecithin provide postbiotic and lipid-based barrier support, while Canadian Willowherb and Australian botanical extracts help condition the skin. Retinal LGS+ is a highly active formula intended for gradual introduction and is not an entry-level retinoid serum.

How to Use
Use at night only.
After cleansing, allow the skin to dry completely. Dispense one pump and press a thin, even layer over the face, avoiding the eyes, lips, corners of the nose and other sensitive areas.
Begin every third night. If the skin remains comfortable, increase to every second night and eventually nightly only when tolerated.
Apply Retinal LGS+ before other serums. Follow with a gentle hydrating serum and moisturiser as required.
Do not use in the same routine as other retinoids, leave-on AHAs, BHAs, exfoliating pads, scrubs, benzoyl peroxide or other intensive corrective treatments unless directed by a qualified practitioner.
Temporary dryness, mild flaking or sensitivity may occur during introduction. Reduce frequency or discontinue use if persistent burning, significant redness, cracking or swelling develops.
Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult a healthcare professional if uncertain.
Discontinue before waxing, laser, chemical peels, microneedling or other professional treatments according to practitioner instructions. Only recommence when advised.
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen every morning and minimise unnecessary sun exposure.

Clinical Information
Retinal, Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate
Retinaldehyde is an intermediate in the conversion of Retinol to Retinoic Acid. It requires one enzymatic conversion step to become Retinoic Acid, while Retinol requires two. Published research supports topical Retinaldehyde for improving visible photoageing, texture and fine lines.
Retinol has extensive evidence supporting epidermal renewal and improvements in visible wrinkles, pigmentation and texture. Retinyl Palmitate is a gentler Vitamin A ester that requires additional conversion steps and provides complementary skin-conditioning support.
The presence of multiple Vitamin A forms does not allow the product to be directly compared with prescription Tretinoin without concentration and delivery data.
Multi-Acid Exfoliation
Lactic and Glycolic Acids are water-soluble AHAs that exfoliate accumulated surface cells and improve visible texture and radiance. Salicylic Acid is an oil-soluble BHA that can enter sebum-rich pores, making it relevant for congestion and blemish-prone skin.
Kojic Acid supports a brighter and more even-looking complexion by influencing tyrosinase activity. Combining multiple exfoliating acids with retinoids increases corrective potential but also increases the likelihood of dryness, peeling and irritation.
Lanablue™
Lanablue™ is derived from Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae blue-green algae. Ingredient-supplier testing positions it as a botanical active with retinoid-like effects on surface renewal and visible wrinkles. It is not chemically equivalent to Retinol, Retinaldehyde or prescription Retinoic Acid.
Postbiotic Support
Lactococcus Ferment Lysate is a non-living ferment-derived ingredient used to support barrier quality and a healthy-looking skin environment. Lysolecithin provides lipid and delivery support. These ingredients should not be described as permanently altering or medically treating the skin microbiome.

Gentle vitamin A. I like that it supports smoother skin without feeling as intense as stronger retinol products.
