Highlights
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.
Item 2603233
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.

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 ...

I'm on my second container of TBT cream and I'm loving it! I use it every night and even with the change to cold weather, my skin feels very moisturized. I've also noticed that my skin has been much clearer over the last few months since I started using both this moisturizer and the face wash. Highly recommend!

Very happy with the results.
Love it.
I'm finishing up my second jar of this cream and about to order my third. I only use it at night and it has lasted me 6+ months. I have very sensitive skin and don't break out from this. I took 1 star off because it hasn't done anything for the few dark spots I have. But it does leave my skin so hydrated and glowy.
Best moisturizer!! Love how it
