Vitamin A II Corrective Serum
Gentle Vitamin A for Clear, Balanced Skin
Face Reality Vitamin A Corrective Serum is a high-performance exfoliating serum formulated with micro-encapsulated retinaldehyde, the most effective yet least irritating form of Vitamin A. This advanced delivery system releases Vitamin A slowly into the skin, maximizing results while minimizing dryness and irritation.
It’s the ideal way to introduce Vitamin A into your routine especially once acne is under control to support clearer pores, smoother texture, and brighter, more even skin tone.
Why This Vitamin A Is Different
Most retinoids at this price point focus only on exfoliation, often leaving skin dry, tight, or irritated. Vitamin A Corrective Serum is thoughtfully formulated with hydrating, soothing, and barrier-supportive ingredients, making it far more tolerable for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
I love recommending this once acne is more stable. It helps prevent future breakouts, calms inflammation, balances oil production, softens fine lines, and fades post-acne marks without the harsh side effects people expect from retinoids.
Key Ingredients
Retinaldehyde (Vitamin A)
A potent, cell-communicating Vitamin A that supports cell turnover, prevents acne, smooths texture, and improves tone—delivering results faster than retinol with less irritation.
Niacinamide
Multi-tasking powerhouse that helps regulate oil, reduce inflammation, strengthen the barrier, and brighten post-acne pigmentation.
Glycolic Acid
A gentle exfoliant that enhances cell renewal and helps improve texture and clarity without over-stripping when used correctly.
Glycerin
A natural moisturizing factor that draws water into the skin, helping offset dryness commonly associated with Vitamin A use.
Antioxidant Complex (Rosmarinyl Glucoside, Caffeyl Glucoside, Gallyl Glucoside)
Protects skin from oxidative stress, supports healing, and reduces inflammation.
Honeysuckle Flower Extract
Soothes irritation and helps calm reactive or sensitized skin.
