Perfect intro to Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

If you're nervous about diving into the retinol game, this one's where to start. It's a low dose, so if you start just 1-2x per week and pair it with a lightweight moisturizer and gradually increase to every other day, you'll be on your way to all the goodness retinol can give!

Making a difference

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I stared out using this product 1x/week as I tend to have sensitive skin. I kept with that frequency for about a month and have been slowly increasing my use. I'm now using it every 3 days. My skin is feeling more radiant. I do apply a moisturizer after this product to help reduce any dryness.

Very mild retinol complex

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Perfect if you have never used retinol before. Works even for sensitive skin. The only issue is the packaging: you can't see how much product is left, and I had the impression that there was quite a bit of product left in the bottle when the pump wouldn't get any more of it out.

Good beginner Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my first experience with any retinol product. I started using it twice a week and now I'm at every other day. I will work my way up to every night. I haven't had any noticeable irritation at all.

Game Changer

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This was my first retinol product ever, and I've got to say it's changed my skin. It took a bit to get used to, my skin flaked terribly but it was well worth it. I've had clear skin since using this product and will recommend it to anyone battling acne.

Not for my sensitive skin

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

Was hoping to start slow and build my way up to 1% but I couldn't even get past this product. It made my sensitive skin breakout and that's a deal breaker for me!

Well formulated retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a lovely retinol formula made with several skin nourishing ingredients. I have been using this product for about six months and although I don't notice a major difference fine line reduction, I also don't look any older :) I would repurchase this but get the higher retinol concentration next time.

Excellent retinol!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is more than just a retinol. The ingredient list has tons of good things like niacinamide, squalane and peptides. Plus, it's worth the money to know you're starting with a low dose of retinol and minimizing potential side effects.
