  • Gentle retinol, but works on lines
From the very first application my skin already felt and looked better, the lines on my forehead have noticably reduced. There was a slight tingling sensation and my skin felt tighter (I think because the product is slightly drying) but this works well with my combination skin, especially on my oily forehead and nose. The texture isn't greasy, it smells okay (is unscented really) and it absorbs well into my skin. I only need a tiny amount else it starts to pill on my skin, especially if I use other products on top. This is an affordable retinol product that is gentle on my sensitive skin, however I would not use this in my eye area and use a different product for this ... show more

  • Gentle Yet Powerful
I’ve been using this retinol serum nightly for over a month now, and it’s hands-down the best formula I’ve ever tried. The lightweight, milky texture glides on instantly and absorbs in seconds without any greasy residue. Because it’s fragrance-free and infused with added ceramides and hyaluronic acid, my skin stays calm and hydrated instead of feeling tight or irritated. Within two weeks, I noticed my complexion looked smoother and more even—fine lines around my eyes and mouth seemed less pronounced, and my skin tone had a subtle brightening glow. The slow-release encapsulated retinol feels strong enough to deliver results but gentler than other serums I’ve rotated in the past, so I haven’t dealt with redness or flaking. I love that this serum layers seamlessly under all my moisturizers and oils, and it hasn’t interfered with my acne-fighting products or daily SPF. Even on days when my skin feels temperamental, it soothes rather than aggravates, thanks to the niacinamide and essential ceramides helping rebuild my skin’s barrier. Overall, this has become my nightly must-have. It strikes the perfect balance between potency and comfort, delivering noticeable anti-aging benefits without the usual side effects. Five stars—I can’t recommend it enough! ... show more

  • Great result at first, but plateaued after a few weeks
I was really impressed with this product in the beginning – within the first couple weeks, my skin felt noticeably smoother and softer. But after that initial period, I stopped seeing any further improvement.

  • Best beginner retinol
This is by far my favorite retinol when it comes to a beginner or anyone that has highly sensitive dry, raw irritated skin. Most people focus on the percent concentration of retinol or retinaldehyde or tretinoin, but the biggest problem with that is it matters more that you use the product on a daily consistent basis. Now, while some people are able to tolerate very high percentages of retinol and its other forms, I personally have a really hard time tolerating high dose retinol. I continue to come back to this product over the years. It’s definitely more expensive than I would like. I think if it was a $15 price point that would be perfect value for money that being said it does a great job of giving me glass skin and enhancing the overall clarity of my skin. The best part being that I can use is slightly over many thick layers of serums and creams without my face feeling like it’s being burned off the next morning. If you struggle like me with retinol, apply a medium to thick moisturizer of your choice. Wait, at least 10 minutes and then apply one to two pumps of this retinol at night time that buffering of moisturizer and thyme will help this retinal be tolerated better. It also has encapsulated retinol which slows the release. I doubt anyone is still reading this, but if you are, I used to be really upset that they did not disclose the retinol percent i’m assuming it’s below 0.3% that being said I notice a considerable change in my skin where I know it’s working. I also still do get a little bit of dryness if I don’t wait 10 min after skin care , which allows me to know that this is in fact having an impact on my skin. ... show more
