### What is retinaldehyde?

Retinaldehyde (CAS No. 116-31-4), also known as retinal, is a derivative of vitamin A (retinol). It plays a crucial role in a number of biological processes, including vision and skin care.

### Which industrial sectors use retinaldehyde?

In [cosmetics](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/laboratory-analysis-cosmetics.md), retinaldehyde is used in anti-ageing creams, serums and lotions for its anti-wrinkle and regenerative properties. It is also found in products designed to treat acne because of its effectiveness in regulating sebum production and stimulating cell renewal. It can also be used to treat pigmentation disorders, such as brown spots.

[Pharmaceuticals](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/analysis-industry-pharmaceuticals.md) use retinaldehyde in topical formulations to treat various skin conditions. Sometimes, it is included in food supplement formulations to improve skin health.
