VITALIFT-A Fortessimo 0.15% Retinal

Powered by 0.15% Retinal – three times as concentrated as the brand’s VITALIFT-A cream – DR. DIFFERENT’s VITALIFT-A Fortessimo is the strongest anti-ageing cream in the brand’s repertoire, offering unrivalled anti-ageing benefits with remarkable skin compatibility. Designed for those concerned with fine lines, loss of elasticity, rough texture, or early signs of ageing, this high-performance night cream is clinically proven to transform the skin’s appearance over time.

What sets it apart is DR. DIFFERENT’s exclusive liposome encapsulation technology, developed over a decade of research. This patented system stabilises Retinal against light and heat exposure, enhancing both its longevity and skin absorption. The liposomes used are microsized to 1/1,710,000th the size of pores, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate deeply without sitting on the skin’s surface.

The formula also contains a blend of two other Vitamin A precursors – 0.08% Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate – for extra anti-ageing care, along with Squalane, for deep moisture  and regeneration, anti-inflammatory Safflower Seed oil, to comfort irritated skin, and Hyaluronic Acid, for intense hydration and plumping. 

In clinical studies, VITALIFT-A Fortessimo demonstrated results up to 240% more effective than standard retinol creams for wrinkle improvement after 8 weeks of use, with additional benefits in lifting, elasticity, and hydration.* After 72 hours, users experienced a 544% increase in collagen production, contributing to firmer, plumper skin.**

Despite its powerful performance, the cream’s transparent, non-sticky formula is suitable even for dry or sensitive skin. It glides on smoothly, offering deep moisturisation and barrier support while you sleep. The subtle yellow hue is natural – derived from the pigmentation of pure Retinal, not artificial dyes.

Housed in an airless tube to preserve freshness, VITALIFT-A Fortessimo offers dermatologist-backed, high-efficacy care with every use. This award-winning formula – recognised by both Glowpick and leading Korean beauty influencers*** – has earned a 91% repurchase rate****, making it a trusted staple in advanced skincare routines. 

This is the strongest Retinal formula that DR. DIFFERENT has to offer, so we recommend it to Cherubs looking for the most intense lifting, firming, and anti-wrinkle care available!
