Summary
DIME's TBT Clean Retinol Alternative Cream is a retinol alternative that gives you all the benefits of a retinol cream minus the harshness.
Benefits
- Helps accelerate skin cell turnover
- Assists in plumping and firming the skin
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Helps to regulate sebum production
- EWG VERIFIED
Key Ingredients
- Bakuchiol: A natural alternative to retinol derived from the Psoralea Corylifolia (Babchi) plant. It has been shown to have similar effects as retinol, without irritation. Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
- Apple Fruit Stem Cell Extract (Malus Domestica Fruit Stem Cell Extract): Signals your own skin stem cells. It also combats the appearance of aging and deep wrinkles. Topical application has been shown to reduce the appearance of crow's feet wrinkles with daily use.
Formulated Without
- Sulfates: DIME products never contain skin irritating ingredients such as sulfates. Sulfate-free products are gentle on the skin, and can help decrease the chances of an allergic reaction.
- Parabens: Certain parabens have been linked to hormone disruption. DIME prohibits all parabens, including Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Isopropylparaben, Methylparaben, and Propylparaben.
- Fragrance: DIME never uses any form of fragrance, natural or synthetic, in any facial skincare products.
- Phthalates: Certain phthalates (like Dibutyl Phthalate, aka DBP, or DEHP, and DEP) appear on product labels, but most typically remain unlisted, hiding under the term “fragrance.” Since some phthalates have been linked to hormone disruption, DIME avoids them.

Due to its exfoliation blend and high hydrational and repair properties, it is best to work through the night vs being disrupted by the day's free radicals. DIME recommends either applying after your night cream or alternating between DIME's TBT Cream and your night cream. Both layering and alternating products can be very beneficial for your skin.
As a Conscious Beauty brand, DIME features sustainable packaging. Once product is empty, rinse jar and toss into recycling bin.

- Q
I have been told that with regular retinol they say to use SPF with it. I know this is a retinol alternative but is using SPF an absolute necessity to use this product? I just want to make sure I don't mess up my skin!
- Asked by Christine
- Official Answer By DIME Beauty - Brand EngageHello, that is a great question! Our TBT Cream is a clean retinol alternative as the super star ingredient bakuchiol has been shown to give all of the same benefits as a retinol cream minus the harshness, so this product should not make your skin more sensitive to the sun. However, we do recommend always applying SPF every single day and reapplying every 2 hours if possible. We hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions!Was this answer helpful to you

Beware of ingredients
I recently purchased Dime DBT Cream, but I'm quite disappointed with the changes in its ingredients. After comparing the product's box and the website, it's clear that the ingredients listed are significantly different. One notable change is that Bakuchiol, which used to be a key ingredient, is now ...

This is the best face cream ever! My forehead lines are so much lighter!! I use it morning and night for extra hydration! I've been telling everyone about it and they all love it too! I can't wait to buy my second jar
So far so good!

Early in my use, but the suggested schedule for ramping up to daily use seems to be working well. All my Dime products seem to be working together to make my skin look and feel smoother and decrease redness.

The menthol feeling around my eyes and the eye watering can't be good. I've used DIME eye serum for years and used the TBT Facial serum and moisturizer and love them both. I haven't contacted DIME directly about this new eye cream but I don't think its for me. I love DIME but this is the first product I haven't liked. It moisturizing but the menthol sensation isn't good for my sensitive watery eyes. Maybe I have a bunk product because doesnt seem like something to be in an eye cream.
