Choose the 30 ml when you have confirmed the formula suits your skin and want 4–6 months of supply at a regular nightly application rate.

Key Benefits
- ✓ Full 30 ml supply — approximately 4–6 months at nightly use (2–3 drops per application)

- ✓ Dimethyl Isosorbide — clinically studied penetration enhancer; carries actives deeper into the epidermis
- ✓ Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate — stabilised Vitamin E antioxidant; extends shelf life and protects skin against free-radical damage
- ✓ Zero fragrance, zero alcohol — suitable for post-procedure skin and fragrance-sensitive individuals

Cautions
- ⚠️ Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding — all retinoids are generally avoided during pregnancy as a precaution.
- ⚠️ Use SPF the following morning — retinoids increase photosensitivity.
- ⚠️ Avoid contact with eyes and lips.
- ⚠️ Do not layer with AHAs, BHAs, or other retinoid products in the same application step.
- ⚠️ Initial dryness, flaking, or mild redness may occur — reduce frequency until skin adjusts.
- ⚠️ Patch-test before first use on full face.
- Store in a cool, dark location. Keep out of reach of children.
- Discontinue if signs of allergic reaction occur; consult a dermatologist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose the 15 ml or 30 ml?
If you are new to Transderma Vitamin A or to retinoids in general, start with the 15 ml to confirm the formula suits your skin before committing to the larger size. Once you know it works for you, the 30 ml offers better value and approximately 4–6 months of nightly supply.
Is 30 ml enough for salon/professional use?
At 2–3 drops per client application, 30 ml can comfortably cover 150–200 individual treatments. Many salon professionals keep both the 15 ml (for sampling new clients) and 30 ml (for regular clients on the Transderma trilogy protocol) in stock.
Can Retinyl Palmitate cause the same purging as retinol?
Retinyl Palmitate is less potent than retinol due to its multi-step conversion, so the risk of significant "purging" is lower. However, some initial skin adjustment (slight dryness or flaking) may occur in the first 2–4 weeks. This typically settles as skin adapts.
Can I use this product if I also use a prescription retinoid?
Do not use over-the-counter retinoids — including Retinyl Palmitate — at the same time as prescription tretinoin or other Rx retinoids without guidance from your dermatologist. Using multiple retinoid sources may increase irritation risk.
What is the shelf life of Transderma Vitamin A?
Retinyl Palmitate is an ester form that is inherently more stable than pure retinol. The Squalane base and Vitamin E antioxidant further stabilise the formula. Store in a cool, dark location and use within 12 months of opening for best results.
