A great intro to retinols

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I started using this product before moving to stronger retinol products. It was a really good intro to retinol and it prepped my skin for stronger formulations.

Good starter retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This was a good alternative to The Ordinary. Gentle on sensitive skin. A great entry level retinol. I just need something a bit stronger now.

Great

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bought this for the hubby. I've notice less breakouts and reduce pore size after using retinol and niacinamide in his routine. He thinks his skin feels smoother too!

Very nice product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After trying all of the ordinary retinol and retinoid products, I tried this one and I don't think I'm ever going back. This feels so nice on my skin and absorbs very quickly, about 3 minutes. Got one of these for my other half and he approves as well.
