Gen 4 Retinoid Repair (30ml)

Experience advanced overnight skin renewal with dr.dermal® Gen 4 Retinoid Repair — a rich restorative night treatment combining the barrier-repairing benefits of a Rich Repair base with the next-generation retinoid Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR).

Designed for dry, mature, environmentally stressed, and post-procedure skin, this intensive overnight moisturiser helps improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, and loss of firmness while deeply nourishing and protecting the skin barrier.

Unlike traditional retinol, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) is a direct-acting retinoid ester that binds directly to retinoid receptors without requiring multiple conversion steps in the skin. This allows for effective skin renewal with improved tolerability and reduced irritation potential compared to conventional retinoids.

Combined with a rich blend of Petrolatum, Panthenol, Squalane, Shea Butter, and antioxidant Vitamin E, this advanced balm supports overnight recovery while helping maintain skin comfort and resilience.
