I am using a product called medik8 which offers a retinal product in different strengths . I thought retinal was more effective than retinol ?
If not I would seriously consider purchasing these products. I am
In NZ so I presume the cost of the trifecta is in American dollars

Hi Julie—Great question: let’s clear up the difference between retinal and retinol. Retinal (retinaldehyde) is a step closer to the active form of Vitamin A, which means it can work slightly faster than retinol, but can also lead to skin irritation. Both forms of the ingredient are highly effective for anti-aging and improving skin texture, and their performance often comes down to formulation. At KaramMD, our Illuminate uses an advanced encapsulated Retinol system. This ensures a slow, controlled release to minimize irritation while delivering powerful, consistent results over time. It’s a gold-standard formula designed to maximize efficacy and skin compatibility.
Regarding pricing, yes, Trifecta’s cost is in USD, but we do ship internationally, including to New Zealand. If you have any further questions about Trifecta or need help with your order, feel free to reach out!
