This powerhouse serum contains 0.15% Retinal, a pretty new ingredient which delivers faster results that regular retinol but is gentler than Rx (prescription strength retinoids).
What makes this serum unique? Its supporting ingredients - Niacinamide, Adaptogenic Mushroom, Ceramide, Squalane and HA - helps diminishing the acclimation time, reducing the risk of irritation and dryness, while providing the skin with nutrients and antioxidants.
The natural, bright yellow texture is creamy and lightweight, and it absorbs quickly into the skin. It is potent but not harsh, and I experienced some redness only after the first 2-3 applications.
I’ve been using it for about 6 weeks - once a week to start, and then increased to twice - and my skin has visibly improved. My enlarged pores shrunk, my complexion is brighter, and my skin is softer and smoother.
Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned retinoid user, this is a great product to include in your routine. Just remember to always patch test, start slowly and apply a lot of sunscreen the next day.
