Pleasantly surprised
I used to be pretty skeptical about retinol, but after weighing all the pros and cons, I finally decided to give this serum a try. I apply it every other night, and I've been pleasantly surprised. The texture feels great on the skin, and there's absolutely no discomfort, no burning, no peeling, no r...

Didn't work out for me
This retinol didn't work out for me in the long run as I eventually broke out but it would be great for anyone who isn't sensitive to retinol. It doesn't have a scent and soaks into the skin as soon as you apply it.

Definitely worth a try
gifted by The INKEY List If you're new to using retinol or have somewhat sensitive skin I think this is something to start with. It didn't give any tingling at all for me and the price is perfect. I actually used it every day and was fine with it. I noticed the lines around my mouth fading but not completely invisible but that's pretty good for only about 10 days to me.
Nice
Complimentary from theinkeylist this retinal starter is gentle enough for a beginner but effective enough to see a difference after just 2 weeks. My skin looks more bright and youthful just after a few weeks of treatment.

My sensitive skin approves!
I have sensitive skin so I'm always a little concerned about whether products will irritate me. But this one was a pleasant surprise! I was careful to use in accordance with recommendations so I stuck to 2 x weekly in the evening and then introduced a 3rd time. It's worked well for me. My skin looks better and no irritation! complimentary from theinkeylist
Good affordable retinol
gifted by theinkeylist.. I've been using this for a few weeks and really like it so far. It feels lightweight, doesn't irritate my skin, and my skin feels smoother and looks a little more even. Definitely a good affordable retinol option.
Smooth skin!
complimentary from theinkeylist | this is a good option for a starter retinol, it's gentle on the skin and easily absorbs. I have sensitive skin and started with using it one night per week, and my skin was really soft the next day.
