great for intermediate retinol users
I used this product for a few months before I moved on to tret. it's not irritating and great to use if you're used to lower % of retinol. it made my skin smooth.

Great Retinol for Beginners
I was new to retinol when I started using this and was slightly scared of the 1% concentration. Since then I used multiple options on the market and I can say this is still the one I reach out towards. It's gentle, it's effective, it has visible results & I consider it fairly priced for the quality it offers. I have combination skin, not particularly sensitive overall but to Retinols & Vitamin C products I do sometimes get unwanted reactions on my skin. I recommend starting either with a patch test or with the "sandwich method"as I do, when I place my active ingredient in between thin layers of moisturizer to tone down the actives. Overall, great product, would definitely purchase & recommend it to friends.

Impressive result, but be prepared for dryness
After trying the mini version, I noticed it made my skin feel tighter and brighter, I decided to purchase the full-size product. However, I did experience some side effects, including dry skin and purging. I now have to use an overnight facial balm on non-retinol days. It’s a 5 stars from me bc i see this as a long-term staple in my routine.

My favourite retinol 🥹
Just love this serum, it’s quite strong but my skin can tolerate it quite well and I really noticed a difference after a few weeks, my skin felt so much brighter and clearer and this has really helped with my fine lines on my forehead. Highly, highly recommend!

Pricey but worth it
I’m obsessed with this product. It took me a while to build up the tolerance to retinol and this one is definitely the most potent. The first few times I used it was too often and my skin wasn’t happy but then I reduced the amount of times I used it and I absolutely love the results. The texture is so lovely!
