It is a well-formulated product that combines retinol with calming and nourishing ingredients like panthenol, centella asiatica, and squalane, making it feel surprisingly gentle despite its strength. It targets fine lines, improves texture, and gives the skin a firmer appearance over time. What makes it unique is the inclusion of spicules, which create a tingling sensation and help push the actives deeper into the skin. While I personally found the experience soothing and non-irritating, I haven’t seen any visible difference in my skin yet. That said, it layers well in my routine and didn’t cause peeling or redness, but I’d recommend patch testing if you’re new to retinol or have sensitive skin.
