Dermatory Dermatory Pro

DERMATORY's Vita A products use retinaldehyde - commonly written as retinal. Retinal sits one conversion step closer to retinoic acid (tretinoin) than retinol in the vitamin A cascade: retinol converts to retinal, which then converts to retinoic acid. This means retinal is more active than retinol per unit of concentration and produces visible cell-turnover results faster. It is often chosen in Korean dermatology skincare as a higher-efficacy alternative to retinol with better skin tolerance than prescription tretinoin.

In the Pro Vita A line, retinal is applied via sheet format (the Band Mask and Eyepatch) for concentrated contact on specific zones rather than a full-face serum. The patch format controls the delivery area, making it practical for targeting eye area fine lines and crow's feet without applying a potent retinoid to the full face at once.

The DERMATORY Pro Vita A Retinal Eyepatch comes in three formats on Skinsli: 60 sheets, 3 sheets (trial size), and 2 sheets. The 60-sheet version is the main-use purchase - at two patches per session (one per eye), 60 sheets provides 30 applications. At two to three sessions per week, a single box lasts roughly two to three months. The 2-sheet and 3-sheet formats are entry-point trial sizes that let new users test the retinal formula before committing to a full box.

Apply the patches to clean, dry skin under and around the eye area. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove and pat in the remaining essence. Use in the evening - retinal increases photosensitivity during the active period, so evening use followed by SPF the next morning is the safe approach. Start at one to two sessions per week and increase to three times per week once the skin has adjusted without irritation.

The Pro Vita A Retinaldum Band Mask is a larger-format retinal patch that covers both the under-eye and the crow's foot zone in one piece - the band shape wraps around the orbital area rather than sitting only on the cheekbone below the eye. This format is better for users whose fine lines extend to the outer corner of the eye or who want more coverage than the standard under-eye patch provides.

Usage is the same as the standard eyepatch: apply to clean, dry skin in the evening for 15 to 20 minutes. The band mask is a single-use product per application, so consider the price-per-use when comparing it with the 60-sheet eyepatch format. For targeted fine-line treatment, the band mask reaches slightly more of the orbital zone in one application.

The DERMATORY Pro Hyalshot Water Light Ampoule at 45ml uses multi-molecular hyaluronic acid - the Hyalshot name signals a proprietary or optimized HA delivery system. Multi-molecular hyaluronic acid means the formula contains both large and small molecular weight HA: large molecules sit on the skin surface binding water there, while smaller molecules penetrate into the upper dermis for deeper plumping. The combination addresses dehydration at multiple skin depths in one step.

At 45ml with a pump, this ampoule provides approximately two to three months of once-daily use. Apply three to four pumps after cleansing and toning, before any serum or cream. The water-light texture is compatible with all skin types, including oily skin that may avoid heavier hydration products. It can be layered beneath the Hyalshot Ampoule Masks on mask days for a double-hydration approach.

The Pro Hyalshot Moisture Ampoule Mask at 34g per sheet uses the same Hyalshot HA system as the ampoule in a leave-on sheet format for an intensive hydration session. Sheet masks provide an occlusive environment that enhances penetration of the saturating essence - the 34g fill per mask is a generous amount that leaves excess for patting in after removal. This mask suits dehydration events: a visible plumping and glow effect within 20 minutes of application.

The 5+5 bundle offers 10 Hyalshot Ampoule Masks at a lower per-mask price. For users who mask two to three times per week, a 10-pack covers three to five weeks of use. The bundle is the most economical format if consistent hydration mask use is part of the regular routine. Single masks are also available for occasional use or as a first purchase.

The Pro Trouble line within DERMATORY Pro addresses acne and enlarged pores with two products. The Pro Trouble Acne Cleansing Foam at 150ml uses a BHA or similar sebum-dissolving active in a foam cleanser to clear congestion, reduce surface bacteria, and control excess oil at the cleansing step. At 150ml, it provides a two-to-three month supply with twice-daily use.

The Pro Trouble Pore Clear Pad at 70 sheets is a soaked exfoliating pad designed to treat pores between washes. Each pad delivers chemical exfoliants - typically BHA (salicylic acid) or an AHA - directly to the skin surface in a one-swipe application. 70 sheets at daily use gives roughly two months of supply; at every-other-day use, the pack lasts four months. The pad is used after cleansing as the first treatment step, before any serum or ampoule. The Trouble line pairs well with the Hyalshot Ampoule on non-pad days - acne care and hydration are not competing concerns.

A typical DERMATORY Pro daily routine: cleanse with the Pro Trouble Acne Cleansing Foam if acne is a concern; apply the Pro Trouble Pore Clear Pad on treatment days (every other day); apply the Pro Hyalshot Water Light Ampoule for hydration; finish with moisturizer. In the evening two to three times per week, replace the moisturizer step with the Pro Vita A Retinal Eyepatch or Band Mask on the eye zone, and apply the Hyalshot Ampoule Mask over the full face on designated mask days.

Do not use the Vita A retinal eyepatch and the Pro Trouble exfoliating pad in the same evening routine - combining multiple strong actives increases sensitivity risk. On retinal patch nights, keep the rest of the routine gentle: Hyalshot Ampoule, moisturizer, and nothing else. On pad days, skip retinal. This alternation keeps the active load manageable for most skin types.

The Hyalshot products - Ampoule and Ampoule Masks - suit all skin types. Hyaluronic acid is non-comedogenic and non-irritating, making it the universal hydration option in the Pro lineup. The Vita A retinal patches suit normal, dry, and combination skin for evening use with a slow introduction schedule. For sensitive skin, start with the 2-sheet or 3-sheet trial packs to confirm tolerance before buying the 60-sheet box.

The Trouble Acne Cleansing Foam and Pore Clear Pads are designed for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Very dry or sensitive skin may find the Trouble line overly stripping - in that case, the Hyalshot line is a safer focus. Retinal products of any format are contraindicated during pregnancy; check with a dermatologist before use in that case.
