This SKIN1004 retinol is honestly so good if you’re just starting out with retinol or have sensitive skin. It’s super gentle but still helps smooth out texture, fade dark spots, and gives your skin that firmer, glowier look over time. Plus, it has calming ingredients like Centella and doesn’t dry you out – no irritation at all for me!
Honestly, the only downside is that it’s really mild, so if you’re used to stronger retinol, you might not see quick results. It takes time to notice changes, so you’ll need to be patient. Also, since it’s low-strength, it’s more about maintenance than major transformation. And like all retinol, you still have to be careful with sun exposure and use SPF daily, or your skin can get extra sensitive.
