Rhonda Allison ChronoPeptide A is a corrective serum formulated to deliver the skin-renewing benefits of vitamin A while remaining gentle enough for even sensitive and first-time retinoid users. It pairs encapsulated retinaldehyde with rejuvenating peptides, niacinamide, and skin-supportive botanical extracts to address visible aging, uneven texture, and barrier function at the same time. The serum carries a light, subtle scent from peppermint, camphor, and sandalwood oils.
Key Benefits
Collagen synthesis without irritation Encapsulated retinaldehyde releases gradually into the skin, stimulating collagen production and accelerating cell turnover with significantly less dryness and sensitivity than traditional retinol.
Supports skin's natural circadian rhythm Glutamylamidoethyl imidazole, a circadian peptide, works with the skin's internal clock to optimize overnight cellular repair and renewal during the hours when skin is most receptive to recovery.
Strengthens and restores the barrier Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid, reinforces the skin's moisture barrier, increases natural lipid production, and provides gentle surface refinement without stripping or dehydrating.
Brightens and evens skin tone Niacinamide, a well-researched form of vitamin B3, visibly reduces the appearance of dark spots, redness, and uneven pigmentation while supporting overall skin clarity.
Delivers antioxidant and nourishing support Cloudberry seed oil, mangosteen fruit extract, and Indian ginseng root extract provide antioxidant protection and essential fatty acids, helping to calm, nourish, and defend the skin throughout the repair process.

ChronoPeptide A is ideal for anyone who wants the anti-aging benefits of vitamin A but has experienced irritation, peeling, or sensitivity with traditional retinol or retinyl palmitate formulations. The encapsulated delivery system makes it a strong starting point for first-time retinoid users, and it works equally well for those who have taken a break from vitamin A and want to reintroduce it gradually.
If your skin leans dry, sensitive, or reactive, this serum is formulated with that in mind. Gluconolactone supports barrier repair while cloudberry seed oil replenishes lipids, so the skin receives the corrective benefits of retinaldehyde without the compensatory dryness that often follows.
It is also well suited for mature or aging skin types focused on reducing fine lines, improving firmness, and evening out texture and tone over time. Because it is designed for nighttime use and works with the skin's natural repair cycle, it fits seamlessly into a results-focused evening routine.
-
If your skin is new to retinaldehyde, try applying ChronoPeptide A every third night for the first two weeks before increasing frequency. Starting slowly allows your skin to adapt and minimizes any initial sensitivity, so you get the full corrective benefit without setting your barrier back.
-
Frequency: Begin with 3 nights per week. Increase frequency gradually as your skin adjusts, or as directed by a Rhonda Allison certified esthetician.
Prepare: Apply to clean, dry skin in the evening before any heavier treatments or moisturizers.
Apply: Dispense 1-2 pumps and smooth evenly over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
Important: Wear broad-spectrum SPF daily while using this serum, as vitamin A increases photosensitivity.

Key Ingredients
- Retinaldehyde (Retinal): A stable, non-irritating form of vitamin A addressing cell membrane health. It encourages cell turnover for a more even tone and texture, while improving hydration and healing mild acne.
- Niacinamide: A multitasking form of vitamin B3 that helps balance oil, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve uneven tone and texture while calming redness for healthier looking skin.
- Withania Somnifera (Indian Ginseng) Root Extract: A plant extract that revitalizes stressed cells, boosting cell development, limiting degradation of extracellular matrix, repairing the barrier function and reducing TEWL.
- Cloudberry Seed Oil: Rich in vitamin C and essential fatty acids, helps brighten skin tone, stimulate collagen, and promotes healing.
- Chronocyclin (Glutamylamidoethyl Imidazole): A chronopeptide specifically designed to mimic the effects of sun exposure on circadian genes, optimizing skin's physiological activities of defense and cell regeneration.

What makes Rhonda Allison ChronoPeptide A different from a standard retinol serum?
ChronoPeptide A uses encapsulated retinaldehyde rather than retinol. Retinaldehyde is one conversion step closer to retinoic acid than retinol, meaning it can deliver results more efficiently while still being gentler than prescription-strength options. The encapsulation technology releases the active gradually, reducing the likelihood of redness, flaking, or irritation.
What is retinaldehyde and how does it compare to retinol?
Retinaldehyde, also called retinal, is a form of vitamin A that sits between retinol and retinoic acid in the conversion chain. Because it requires one fewer conversion step inside the skin, it tends to work more efficiently than retinol while remaining better tolerated than prescription retinoic acid. This makes ChronoPeptide A a strong option for those who want visible results with less risk of over-sensitizing the skin.
What does the circadian peptide in Rhonda Allison ChronoPeptide A do?
The circadian peptide in ChronoPeptide A is glutamylamidoethyl imidazole, an ingredient that works with the skin's biological clock to support optimal cellular repair overnight. Skin naturally enters a more active repair state during sleep, and this peptide helps synchronize and enhance that process, making the serum's active ingredients more effective when applied in the evening.
Can Rhonda Allison ChronoPeptide A be used year-round?
Yes, ChronoPeptide A is formulated for year-round use. Because it is applied at night and the retinaldehyde is encapsulated for controlled release, it is less likely to cause the acute photosensitivity sometimes associated with stronger vitamin A formats. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is still essential whenever you are using any vitamin A product.
How does gluconolactone in Rhonda Allison ChronoPeptide A benefit the skin?
Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid that gently refines skin texture while reinforcing the moisture barrier and supporting natural lipid production. Unlike alpha hydroxy acids, it is less likely to cause irritation, making it well-suited to pair with retinaldehyde in a formula designed for sensitive or reactive skin types.
How often should I use Rhonda Allison ChronoPeptide A if I am new to vitamin A?
If you are new to vitamin A, start with 3 applications per week and allow your skin to adjust before increasing frequency. Most users can work up to nightly use over several weeks. Working with a Rhonda Allison certified esthetician or reaching out to one of our licensed estheticians at Art of Skin Care can help you find the right pace for your skin.
Does Rhonda Allison ChronoPeptide A contain fragrance?
The serum contains peppermint oil, camphor bark oil, and sandalwood wood oil, which contribute a light natural scent. It does not contain synthetic fragrance. If your skin is highly reactive to any of these botanicals, we recommend a patch test before full use or consulting with one of our estheticians for personalized guidance.

Love it!
This is the first retinol product that I have ever been able to use every day for a week without getting flushed and over sensitized. And, when I am off it for a time and start back on it, someone in the office usually comments how great my skin looks! I think it creates an incredibly smooth and hydrated looking face. I LOVE IT! -- Lynn G.
