Naturium Retinaldehyde Cream Serum 0.10%
by Naturium · skin_care
Editor's Take
The retinaldehyde is the real deal at 0.10%, but the smooth, stabilized ride comes with more synthetic polymer baggage than clean shoppers usually want.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 8.8 / 10
- Modern Tech: 8.5 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 6.6 / 10
- Sustainability: 5.6 / 10
The Verdict
With 0.10% Retinal doing the work, efficacy lands in the Excellent band, and the one-step retinal conversion gives it a clear edge over a standard retinol serum. The technology is Highly Advanced too: the creamy base uses Triheptanoin, Glycerin, and controlled-release polymer work to make a potent active feel more wearable. The trade-off is the clean side, where Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, silicone, and acrylate polymers keep it at 6.6, while sustainability sits at 5.6 because the texture depends on synthetic film formers. Strong night treatment, not a green-beauty darling.
