My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Retinal 0.1% & Peptides Advanced Repair Night Cream of the brand Allies of Skin is primarily intended for skin showing signs of aging: wrinkles, loss of firmness, uneven texture, and dull complexion. Its advanced formula also targets nighttime skin repair, making it an ideal treatment for mature or tired skin, as well as for those who wish to prevent the first signs of aging. My expert opinion is that the synergy between retinal, peptides, and antioxidants positions this product as a benchmark for cell regeneration and collagen stimulation.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major active ingredients stand out in this cream:

• Retinal (0.1%) An advanced derivative of vitamin A, it acts faster than traditional retinol. It stimulates collagen production, accelerates cell renewal, and reduces wrinkles, dark spots, and imperfections.
• Peptides (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, etc.) These protein fragments send signals to the skin to boost collagen and elastin synthesis, thereby improving skin firmness and elasticity.
• Antioxidants (Ubiquinone, Glutathione, Vitamin E) They protect the skin from oxidative stress, limiting damage caused by free radicals and promoting nighttime repair.

The presence of plant oils (argan, pomegranate, sunflower) and ceramides optimizes tolerance and comfort, making the formula suitable even for sensitive skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this treatment in the evening, on clean, dry skin, as the last step in my routine. It is compatible with moisturizing active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, ceramides), but I do not recommend combining it with other retinoids or powerful exfoliants (AHA/BHA) to avoid irritation. It is essential to use sunscreen in the morning.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This treatment stands out for its anti-aging effectiveness, its richness in repairing active ingredients, and its enveloping texture. A slight drawback could be the presence of fragrance or agents that may be sensitizing for ultra-reactive skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for deep and visible nighttime regeneration.
