How it works

This Retinal Peptide Capsule Cream is a light gel-cream, formulated around retinal, niacinamide and allantoin. It settles into the skin and is meant to be worked in as a night step. The remaining formula carries supporting humectants and film-forming agents typical of a VT cream of this kind, listed in full on the ingredient panel itself. Introduce this product on its own for the first several uses before layering it with other actives.

Key benefits

  • Moisturizer, from VT Cosmetics' Korean-market lineup, 50 ml
  • VT Cosmetics has not published a scan-based verification route; match the batch code on the box against the code on the bottle or tube itself.

Key actives

Niacinamidefifth on the list, tone and texture

Niacinamide is a tone and texture ingredient that shows up across most of VT's Reedle Shot line, doing brightening and surface-refining work rather than deep hydration. Listed fifth among the ingredients, it sits where the formula's own INCI order places its real weight in the mix.

Squalane11th on the list, lightweight emollient

Squalane is a lightweight, non-greasy emollient that softens texture without leaving the heavy film a mineral oil would. Listed 11th among the ingredients, it sits where the formula's own INCI order places its real weight in the mix.

Adenosine28th on the list, fine-line and texture smoothing

Adenosine is a Korean-formulation staple recognised for smoothing fine lines and texture, common enough in domestic Korean skincare to be treated as a routine inclusion rather than a headline. Listed 28th among the ingredients, it sits where the formula's own INCI order places its real weight in the mix.

Retinal35th on the list, retinoid, texture renewal

Retinal is a vitamin A aldehyde, one step further along the retinoid conversion pathway than retinol, which is why VT's Reti-A line is positioned for skin already comfortable with retinoid use. Listed 35th among the ingredients, it sits where the formula's own INCI order places its real weight in the mix.

Allantoin36th on the list, soothing

Allantoin is a mild, well-tolerated soothing agent that rounds out a formula's calming profile without adding any fragrance-like irritation risk. Listed 36th among the ingredients, it sits where the formula's own INCI order places its real weight in the mix.

How to use

  1. Use it in the evening as the last step, over your serum.
  2. A pea for the face, massaged until the capsules break and disappear.
  3. Start on two or three evenings a week, then build up from there.
  4. Do not use it alongside another retinoid, and wear sunscreen every morning.

Worth knowing

  • Retinal is a step further along the retinoid pathway than retinol, so build up frequency slowly if a routine has not run a strong retinoid before.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.

  • Squalane comes from a lipid that occurs naturally in your skin.

  • Vitamin A has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of your skin, where it finds and boosts collagen and elastin, which is a protein that strengthens your skin's flexibility.

  • Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
