Active Ingredients
Hydroxypinacolone retinoate – HPR 0.2%
An advanced and proven effective form of vitamin A, synthesized from retinoic acid and a small molecule pinacol. Retinoids (Retinol, Retinaldehyde, Retinyl esters) undergo several metabolic transformations upon application, entering our skin until they reach their biologically active form – retinoic acid. Regardless of the retinoid applied, it must be converted to retinoic acid to be absorbed by the skin. HPR is an all-trans direct retinoic acid ester and therefore bypasses the conversion steps required by other retinoids. This ingredient immediately activates its action, making it more effective and less aggressive to the skin.
Main advantages of HPR:
- Highly effective – provides fast results as it acts directly, without the need to metabolize into retinoic acid.
- Gentle and tolerant – does not cause irritation, redness, or sensitivity, making it suitable for all skin types.
- Stable – HPR maintains its concentration after opening and remains effective for a long time.
- Photosensitivity – Research indicates that HPR makes the skin much less sensitive to sunlight than standard retinoids. However, sun protection remains mandatory during use.
- No adaptation period – unlike standard retinoids, HPR does not irritate the skin and can be introduced into the routine without the need for additional adaptation time.
- Safety Profile – While no cosmetic ingredient is entirely risk-free, HPR has an excellent safety profile, generally well tolerated with a lower likelihood of severe side effects, making it an attractive option for those seeking retinoid benefits without associated risks.
- Innovation – HPR represents a breakthrough in skincare science, with its unique chemical structure and mechanism of action showcasing advancements in retinoid research and development, offering promising possibilities for the future of skincare.

FAQ
What is the main purpose of this retinol serum?
The Anti-Age Face Serum with Retinol 0.2% is designed to promote smoother, younger-looking skin. The active ingredient, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, is a retinoid that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone by boosting cell turnover and encouraging collagen production.
How should I use this retinol serum?
You should incorporate retinol products into your skincare routine gradually. Apply a small amount of the serum to clean, dry skin in the evening after cleansing. We recommend to start using it a few times per week, and gradually increasing the frequency as your skin builds tolerance. If hydration is needed, you can apply the Pure Skin Night Fluid at least 30 minutes after applying the serum. Always use sunscreen in the morning!
Can I use the Biotrade Anti-Age Face Serum with Retinol 0.2% if I have sensitive skin?
Although the retinoid used in this serum has an excellent tolerance profile, retinoids can still cause irritation, especially on sensitive skin. If irritation occurs, reduce the frequency of use or discontinue use.
Can I use the Biotrade Retinol Serum with other skincare products?
Yes, you can combine it with other skincare products, but avoid using it alongside strong exfoliants or acid-based products (like AHA, BHA) or Vitamin C in the same routine. If you still wish to use Vitamin C, we recommend applying it in your morning routine. After applying the retinol serum, you can follow up with a gentle moisturizer such as Pure Skin Night Fluid.
How do I use vitamin C with retinol serum?
Retinol and vitamin C can be paired , however they should be used at different times of the day. Consequently, we advise that you use retinol in the evening and your vitamin C in the morning.
Is this anti-age serum suitable for all skin types?
Retinol products should only be applied in the evening, as they make your skin more photosensitive, more susceptible to the effects of sunlight. The use of sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from UV damage is indispensable. For this, we recommend our Pure Skin Glow Revival Day Cream SPF 50+.
