High grade / quality retinol

His is a powerful retinol so I definitely recommend layering on hyaluronic acid / peptides / a hydrating moisturiser to avoid peeling. I’m starting slow, once a week as it’s cold out and I don’t want to dry my skin out, but will increase as the weather improves! Also doesn’t break my skin out which is a bonus!

Favourite Retinol!

Works great, no irritation if I layer moisturizer on top, definitely worth a try if you’re looking for a retinol product. Would recommend starting with the .25 percent if you’re new to retinol!

Perfect

This retinol is formulated so well. No significant drying/redness and I love that they offer 3 different strengths so you can gradually build. The best retinol I have tried so far.
