We source stock directly from official brand channels in South Korea, check that every batch is fresh, and ship each parcel by air from our Seoul warehouse, arriving in 5–7 days across the UAE and GCC with Cash on Delivery.

Start two to three times a week, use a small amount, follow with moisturiser and wear sunscreen daily. If irritation persists, reduce frequency or pause and consult a professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it retinal or retinol?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt contains retinal, also called retinaldehyde, a vitamin A derivative that is one step closer to the active form than retinol. It tends to work faster on texture and fine lines, which is why it should be introduced gradually. Patch test any new product first, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with the Arencia Vitamin C Booster Shot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but at different times. Use the Vitamin C Booster Shot in the morning under sunscreen and the Retinal Booster Shot in the evening. This splits the actives and reduces the chance of irritation. Patch test any new product first, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for sensitive skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSensitive skin can use it carefully: start once or twice a week, apply over a light moisturiser to buffer, and avoid exfoliating acids on the same night. Stop if redness or burning persists. Patch test any new product first, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it during pregnancy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetinoids, including retinal, are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patch test any new product first, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive. Consistency matters most, so keep it part of a simple, regular routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ksa-reviewed\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by the Korean Skincare Arabia team, Seoul · Updated October 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arencia","offers":[{"title":"30ml","offer_id":56682232414540,"sku":"CPY-8809562192763","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/3843\/2844\/files\/Arencia_Retinal_Booster_Shot_30ml.webp?v=1776412901","url":"https:\/\/koreanskincarearabia.com\/products\/arencia-retinal-booster-shot-30ml","provider":"Korean Skincare Arabia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
