Even though this is a gentler formula, there are still a few things to keep in mind anytime you use a product with retinol in it:
– Don’t initially use it every day. Build up to it starting a couple of times a week to see how your skin reacts.
– Use it at night because when exposed to the sun, retinol degrades some. I like to apply mine on top of moisturizer, because that prevents irritation for me.
– Wear sunscreen during the day, which you should do anyway!
Promising reviews: “I absolutely love this stuff! I saw a dermatologist on TikTok who raved about this product and tried it out, and it’s been the most amazing stuff! It’s helped my face to clear up very quickly removing all of the blemish spots and dark spots around my face. It’s been one of the best products I’ve added to my face routine. It doesn’t moisturize much, but that’s not it’s intention, and there is no scent.” —Successful Solo
“I ran out of my Murad retinol serum, so I gave this a try. I actually like it better than the Murad! It absorbs quickly, with zero smell or irritation. As with any retinol product, be sure to wear sunscreen when you’re going to be outside.” —C. Munsterman
