About the DR DIFFERENT 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!

*According to tests conducted by Global Medical R&D Centre between 4/2/2020 and 31/3/2020, involving 22 people, this cream demonstrated a 240% greater improvement in wrinkles, a 270% improvement in face lifting, a 180% improvement in elasticity, and a 150% in moisturisation compared to a standard Retinol cream, after 8 weeks of use.

**According to tests conducted by Global Medical R&D Centre between 14/2/2022 and 11/3/2022.

***The VITALIFT-A line took no.1 in the Night Cream category at the 2020 Glowpick awards and no. 1 in the Cream category at the 2020 Korean Youtubers Awards.

Ingredients in DR DIFFERENT VITALIFT-A Fortessimo 0.15% Retinal

0.15% Retinal: A powerful form of Vitamin A, Retinal gives your skin all the same anti-ageing benefits as Retinol but works 11 times faster. It speeds up skin cell turnover and increases your skin’s synthesis of collagen and elastin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, make your skin feel bouncier, and even out skin texture.

0.08% Retinol: A form of Vitamin A, Retinol speeds up skin cell turnover and increases your skin’s synthesis of collagen and elastin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, make your skin feel bouncier, and even out skin texture.

Retinyl Palmitate: A combination of Retinol and Palmitic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate is an antioxidant, protecting skin from free-radical damage, and also helps to promote collagen production, smooth rough skin texture, and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Safflower Seed Oil: High in linoleic acid and vitamins E and K, hydrating Safflower Seed Oil also promotes blood circulation and inhibits the inflammation process for calmer, healthier-looking skin.

Squalane: Antioxidant Squalane mimics the skin’s own natural oils to provide deep, layer-penetrating hydration and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Sodium Hyaluronate: Famous for its hydrating properties, Sodium Hyaluronate is a derivative of hyaluronic acid that pulls water from the air into your skin to keep it moisturised and looking dewy.

How to use DR DIFFERENT VITALIFT-A Fortessimo 0.15% Retinal

After cleansing, applying serum, and using any other active products in your evening routine, top up your moisture levels with this cream.

Dispense a small amount of product into your hands.
Spread across your face, massaging lightly, until fully absorbed. Apply another layer as required, in winter or when skin is feeling dryer than usual.

Because the ingredients in this product may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, use it in the evening only. After using in the evening, ensure that you wear SPF the following day. We advise that you steer clear of this product if your skincare routine already incorporates Vitamin C, Retinol, AHAs, or BHAs. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Some irritation is natural, but if it persists, discontinue use. Patch-test prior to use.

FAQs about DR DIFFERENT VITALIFT-A Fortessimo 0.15% Retinal

What does the liposome encapsulation do?

Liposomes are tiny spheres that wrap around the active ingredients to protect and deliver them more effectively. In this formula, they do three things:

Stability: They shield the Retinal from light and heat, keeping it potent in the tube and on your skin.
Deeper delivery: The liposomes are sized to roughly 1/1,710,000th the size of a pore, helping actives absorb rather than sit on the surface.
Better tolerance: Controlled delivery means you can get strong results with less irritation than many traditional retinal creams.

Is it suitable for teenagers?

No, this one isn't recommended for teens. DR. DIFFERENT VITALIFT-A Fortessimo is a high-strength retinol ampoule, which can be too intense for younger skin that doesn't yet need that level of intervention. It's best suited to adults who are looking to address visible signs of skin ageing. If you're a teen dealing with breakouts or redness, a gentler centella or niacinamide product would be a better fit.

Are any of your eye patches suitable for teens?

Yes, this one can work well for teens when used purely for hydration and de-puffing rather than as an intensive treatment. Use it 1 to 3 times a week on clean skin, then follow with your usual moisturiser (and SPF in the morning).

Do you sell lip masks?

Yes. While this product isn't a lip mask, we do stock lip care products that can be used as an overnight treatment. If you're after a specific recommendation, our team is happy to help you find the right one.
