Amazing
I was gifted by Farmacy Beauty! But,First let's talk about the oils. The first oil is Citrullus lanatus (watermelon) seed oil aka Kalahari Melon Oil which is a non-fragrant plant oil rich in fatty acids that hydrate, replenish, and soothe skin. Palmitic, linoleic, oleic, and stearic fatty acids are ...

*gifted by Farmacy Beauty*I have recently just gotten into retinols and must say that I wasn't entirely impressed with this one.

Comments about 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum
This isn't the first retinol I've used, but it's definitely the best! I see results in my fine lines using 2x a week, and as long as I moisturize after (honey halo!) I have no irritation and minimal dryness. Also I do have sensitive skin and I'm able to use this with no itching, burning, or redness. Will purchase again!
So far so good!

Comments about 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum
I can honestly say I have tried 15-20 different types of retinol, retinol alternatives, and even prescription retinol but this is the ONLY one I noticed faded my large sun freckle/spot (no worries I've had it checked :). Hydrating enough to use on its own and doesn't tingle, burn or irritate my sensitive skin. I use it only 3x per week out of caution of past experience but it's going to be a staple in my routine!
Nice Retinol

Comments about 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum
I use this 2-3x/week at night in my skincare routine and do not have any irritation. It absorbs quickly, and I layer the Honey Halo or 10% Niacinamide Mask on top. The packaging is great and does not allow air to impact the product effectiveness.
