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.

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.

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 ...

The TBT cream has helped balance my skin tone and keep it moisturized! I even got one for my mom and after just a week of using it she started getting compliments that her skin was glowing! Definitely will be ordering more!
My first skincare addiction!
Reviewed at
I have always been weary of skincare lines because of the sketchy ingredients. But when I turned 38, I realized that I really wanted to take better care of my skin. I searched online and saw that DIME was EWG certified, ordered it, and fell in love. It's the first skincare line that actually has held me to a solid routine, one that I look forward to. I love the packaging, the products, all of it.
Love using this cream at night!

This is my go to cream to use at night and the results are showing after using it for several months. I love how smooth it goes on. How it isn't sticky and it blends so well together with other serums that I use.

- Q
Can i use this and still use retinol products?
- Asked by Desi
- Official Answer By DIME Beauty - Brand EngageOur TBT Cream is formulated with clean, skin-friendly ingredients and is generally safe to use alongside retinol products. That said, since everyone’s skin can react differently, we recommend doing a small patch test when layering the two. Try applying them together on an area like your neck or wrist first to ensure your skin tolerates the combination well. As with any routine that includes retinol, be sure to wear SPF during the day and reapply every two hours whenever possible to keep your skin protected.Was this answer helpful to you

- 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
