Lamelle 3% Patented Retinoid Analogue Technology
Lamelle officially positions RA Cream as containing a high 3% concentration of its retinoid / retinoic-acid analogue technology.
The current published INCI identifies:
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR)
as one of the retinoid ingredients.
For Chris & Alley, I would phrase the claim as:
3% patented retinoid analogue technology
rather than:
3% HPR
because Lamelle does not currently make it clear whether the 3% refers to pure HPR or the proprietary retinoid raw-material system.
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate / HPR
An advanced cosmetic retinoid.
HPR is an ester of retinoic acid and is distinct from conventional:
Retinol
and
Retinal.
It supports:
Surface renewal + smoother texture + more even-looking tone + visible improvement in fine lines and photoageing.
Do not call HPR:
Retinol.
Retinyl Palmitate
A second Vitamin A derivative present in the current full ingredient declaration.
Retinyl Palmitate is a retinyl ester and provides complementary age-supportive activity.
It is less directly active than HPR and should not be used to justify an additional numerical Vitamin A strength.
Hyaluronic Acid
A water-binding humectant helping support:
Hydration + suppleness + visible plumping.
It helps counterbalance the dryness that can occur when introducing retinoid skincare.
Urea
Part of the cream’s broader Natural Moisturising Factor-support system.
At the concentration used here, with no specific percentage published, its most appropriate customer-facing role is:
Hydration + softness + moisture retention.
Do not position RA Cream as a Urea exfoliating treatment.
Sodium Lactate + Serine + Sorbitol + Glucose
Complementary Natural Moisturising Factor-related ingredients helping maintain:
Hydration + softness + skin comfort.
Shea Butter
Provides richer emollient support and contributes to the comfortable cream texture.
It helps improve:
Softness + suppleness + moisture retention.
Vitamin E / Tocopheryl Acetate
Provides complementary antioxidant and skin-conditioning support.
Sage Leaf Extract
One of Lamelle’s highlighted botanical ingredients.
It provides complementary:
Antioxidant + skin-conditioning support.
Allantoin
A soothing skin-conditioning ingredient that helps support skin comfort.
Chamomile + Yarrow + Rosemary + Lemon Balm + Marshmallow Root + Horsetail + Coltsfoot
A broad botanical complex providing complementary:
Conditioning + soothing + antioxidant support.
These should remain supporting ingredients rather than the core reason to choose RA Cream.

Use in the evening only.
Cleanse the skin and allow it to dry.
Apply any appropriate serums that do not contain retinoids.
Follow with a small pea-sized amount of RA Cream over the:
Face + Neck + Décolleté
according to skin tolerance.
Massage gently until absorbed.
Introducing RA Cream
If you are new to retinoids, introduce gradually:
Week 1–2: every third evening
Then: every second evening
Progress to nightly use only if comfortably tolerated.
Lamelle’s general instructions allow regular nightly use, but gradual introduction is a more practical approach for customers who have not previously used active retinoids.
Morning After Use
Cleanse the skin and apply:
Broad-spectrum SPF 50+
every morning.
Consistent photoprotection is essential in a retinoid-based age-correction routine.

Sensitive skin should introduce the product gradually according to tolerance rather than assuming that all retinoids will be irritation-free.
