Overview
A 50 ml unscented night cream from Matkas built around hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and retinal, packaged in a tube and formulated cruelty free, fragrance free and vegan.
Retinal (retinaldehyde) sits a step up in potency from standard retinol on the vitamin A conversion chain, so pairing it with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide in the same cream is a fairly deliberate anti-aging combination rather than a basic moisturizer blend. The fragrance-free, vegan formulation broadens who can use it without triggering scent sensitivity.
- 50 ml night cream in tube packaging
- Contains retinal, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid
- Unscented, fragrance free
- Cruelty free and vegan
Who it's for
Aimed at adults wanting a retinal-based night cream who prefer fragrance-free and vegan formulations. Not the right pick for anyone new to retinoids who hasn't built up tolerance, since retinal can be more active than retinol.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Uses retinal rather than standard retinol
- Fragrance free and vegan formulation
- Includes hyaluronic acid and niacinamide for hydration
- Retinal can be more irritating than retinol for first-time users
- No reviews available to confirm tolerance in practice
Performance notes
Retinal converts to retinoic acid in fewer steps than retinol, which generally makes it faster acting but also more likely to cause irritation for first-time users. Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid in the same formula are included to offset that with hydration and barrier support, a common pairing strategy in retinoid creams.
