Great for Starters

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've tried a couple Retinol products before that either burned my skin, leaving it red and flaky, or gave me acne. I have sensitive skin and am prone to eczema. This, to my surprise and pleasure, did none of that! I haven't seen any "benefits" yet, but I know in the long run, Retinol is good for your skin. I started gradually and now can use it daily. After I finish I will go purchase the next highest concentration (.50). My boyfriend also tried this and experienced the same thing; no breakouts or burning, which he has with other products. His skin is on the oily side and is acne prone. I recommend.

Effective retinol that doesn't dry

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol is powerful but does not irritate my skin at all. It has a yellow color which is a good sign of high quality retinol. I'm looking forward to building up to their higher levels of retinol %.

Great quality for the price

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a great quality retinol for the price and easier than going to the dr for an rx. This was my first time using this brand and I will for sure get again.
