Arencia Retinal Booster — retinal sits one step closer to retinoic acid than retinol does, which means results arrive faster at a comparable strength while tolerance stays much nearer retinol than a prescription retinoid.
This is formulated gently enough to use around the eyes, which most retinoids are not — the shot format keeps the concentration meaningful over a short course.
Best for
Fine lines and texture, including around the eyes, for people who have already used retinol.
How to use Arencia Retinal Booster
At night only, on dry skin, twice weekly to start.
Do not use
While pregnant or breastfeeding. Sunscreen every morning.
What is in it
Retinal
Retinal — retinaldehyde — sits one conversion step closer to retinoic acid than retinol does. In practice that means results arrive faster at a comparable strength, with tolerance that is still much closer to retinol than to a prescription retinoid. It also has some antibacterial activity, which is why it is often suggested for skin dealing with both ageing and breakouts. Introduce it the same careful way: at night, twice weekly, with sunscreen every morning. Background reading on retinaldehyde if you want the chemistry behind it.
Retinol
Retinol is the best-evidenced ingredient in cosmetic skincare for fine lines and texture. Skin converts it in two steps into retinoic acid, which speeds cell turnover and prompts collagen production. That conversion is why it works more slowly than a prescription retinoid and why it is far better tolerated. Expect twelve weeks before firmness and line changes are honest rather than imagined, and expect a flaky, tight fortnight on the way there.
What to use it with
Seal this in with a moisturiser and apply it to skin that is still damp from a toner — both steps make a measurable difference to how much of the serum stays where you put it. From the rest of our range, Medicube Zero Pore One Day Cream and Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Jelly Mist Serum are sensible companions, and both are stocked with the same cash-on-delivery terms.
Where it fits in your routine
A serum goes on after cleansing and toning, while skin is still slightly damp, and before anything heavier. That order matters more than people expect — the thinnest, most concentrated layer needs direct contact with skin, not a film of moisturiser in the way. Give it thirty seconds to absorb, then seal it in with a cream. If you are using more than one serum, the lighter one goes first.
Before you start
This is a night product. Start twice a week, build up slowly, and stop increasing the moment skin starts to feel tight rather than dry. Sunscreen the following morning is not optional. Do not use retinoids while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Common questions
Is Arencia Retinal Booster authentic?
Yes. Euros Belle stocks sealed, unopened units sourced through the brand’s own distribution, and we do not sell testers, decants or refilled packaging. Every order is checked before it leaves us, and you are welcome to inspect the seal at the door before paying.
What size is Arencia Retinal Booster?
This listing is the 30 ml size, priced at ৳1,850. Where a product is available in more than one size, each is listed separately so the price you see is the price for the size shown.
Will it suit my skin type?
Most skin types tolerate it, though anyone with reactive or recently over-exfoliated skin should introduce it slowly. If your barrier is currently compromised — stinging, tightness, unusual redness — repair that first with something simple before adding anything active.
Can I order without using the website?
Yes. Some customers prefer to confirm by message first, so every product page carries WhatsApp and Messenger buttons that open a chat with the product and price already filled in. You can also call the hotline on 01795-081385 during business hours. The order is the same either way, and so is the price.
