Retinol Serum

product review positives
Althought I am not new to the world of retinol, this is a great begginers product! Ive been using it on my neck which has never been treated before. This product is “clean” and claims to renew the skin, target signs of ageing, and even out skin tone. It is formulated with: *RetiStar Stabilised Retinol 1% *Granactive Retinoid 0.5%: derivative with a slow release formula for low irritating, effective active delivery *Squalane: Hydrates and soothes The retinol is a standard 1 ounce for 9.99. A pale, yellow cream with a thin consistency. Id say other than The Ordinary, this is a pretty competitive price in terms of affordability. You often times wont find a quality ingredients list that calls out the the % of retinol in most products (even higher end!) I mix this with my moisturizer a couple times a week since the neck is a very sensitive area and lacks sebum pores like the face has. You WILL get redness and irritation if you put this on every night without some kind of buffer like a moisturizer underneath. I was experimenting and this happened to me. Once my skin got used to it thought, the redness never came back. This is to be expected, since retinol products help strengthen the resiliency of skin. I havent noticed a change in my horizontal neck lines but these are deep, and retinol products on me usually take four months to see results. Ive been using this for around two months and will continue to do so. I hope to see some sort of change by the 4 month mark.
product review negatives
Can cause redness and irritation due to user error. Retinol products require a specific routine!

Hello @amg3268, I'm actually new to this retinol regime. May I asks about the sandwich method, while means for the first step i put on moisturiser, retinol and moisturiser again? Is that how it works?

I think it could be, but if youre using it for acne I probably wouldnt suggest this. Could be great for acne scars but i lean more towards Vitamin C and Alpha arbutin in this regard
