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.

Love
I like that the formula is gentle. I did not experience any irritation. My skin improved after using the serum. My skin is soft, smooth, bright, and healthy. I started using it 2-3 times a week at night till I built tolerance. I apply SPF if I use it during the day. This was complimentary from The INKEY List.
Great starter product
I'm so glad I found this starter retinol. I was nervous to try retinol but I'm really happy with this product. So far is hasn't caused any irritation which I was worried about. I know consistency is key but so far I feel like my fine lines are less noticeable and am excited to continue using it. gifted by theinkeylist
Gentle retinol for beginners
I've always been a little nervous about trying retinol, but this one made it so easy. I started using it just a couple of nights a week, and my skin handled it really well. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight the next morning. After a few weeks, my skin looked smoother, more even, and had a healthy glow. If you've been wanting to add retinol to your routine but don't know where to start, I honestly think this is a great beginner-friendly option. gifted by theinkeylist. complimentary from theinkeylist
Great beginner retinol for smooth morning skin
Reviewed at

This serum is fantastic, especially if you're new to retinol. During the first week, I did feel a slight stingy sensation when I applied it, but my skin completely got used to it after a short adjustment period. Now, I experience zero irritation, and I absolutely love how fresh, soft, and clear my skin looks every morning. It's gentle yet effective, and a permanent keeper in my night routine.
Love!
I absolutely love this product! I received it complimentary from The INKEY List and it has quickly become a staple in my everyday skincare routine. It leaves my skin feeling great and glowy, and isn't too heavy or sticky on my skin. I'll definitely be repurchasing.
