First time retinol purge
I've tried various retinols before and honestly, I've never really seen what all the hype was about. The effects seemed to take forever to show up, and I never experienced any of that notorious retinol purge—until now.

My skin is quite thin and delicate. I am very cautious about using retinol. This retinol serum is safe to use and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I can feel the difference after using it. Highly recommended

Hey my Beauties ! Review time. Theinkeylist Retinol Serum is such a great gentle serum to start with . It has a slow release formulation which causes no irritation or harshness to the skin .It also uses stable retinol and 0.5 % granactive retinoid so you can apply serums and moisturizer after. I tend to use retinol every other night and built up after introducing it to my skin twice a week until i knew my skin could tolerate it
So far so good

I really enjoy using this serum. I have noticed fine lines are reducing and my complexion appears more radiant. I alternate this with the exosome serum.
It's ok
