Perfect retinol Serum for beginners

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol is not too strong and it is effective. It doesn’t irritate my skin like most retinols do. I think it best for people with sensitive skin or retinol beginners.

Good beginners retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

if you are starting to use retinol this is a good one to start with as it is sensitive on the skin and isnt too harsh. unlike other retiols after a month of using i have purged and can start to see my skin looking brighter and acne scars ar fading. Would highly recommend if you have pigmentation or scaring.

Brilliant low cost retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I received this in a sub box and was hesitant after trying a similar low cost brand that did absolutely nothing. I was very impressed with this serum, gentle and left my skin feeling beautiful the morning after. So much so that I have repurchased and will continue to do do! I find it very similar to the high end retinol serum A+
