Personal experience
🌸 For me personally, retinol can be quite intimidating. Especially, when people mention the purging phase and the potential of breakout 🥲
🌸 Definitely you gotta start slow and build your way up. So, this one is definitely one of the suitable choice for sensitive skin. The 1% encapsulated retinol makes it way more gentle on skin. Since i am used to retinol, i had straight away used the serum without patch test, but no new zits pops out. (For reference, i used 2% granactive retinoid)
🌸 It was non-drying even for combo-dry skin, but you can always patch test first or use sandwich method if that fits your skin better. I notice slight improvement of skin texture, but needs longer time to see faded scars.
