    • I like it
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
So I only use this like 2 times a week. Cuz it does cause my skin to peel a little. But when it on it feels really nice and soft. It does make my skin feel smoother and it seems more glowy. If you have sensitive skin I wouldn't recommend. But I am not a professional. Price was right and it lasts along time. ... show more

I’m concentrating on skin care. Love this retinol, dries quickly so you can move on to next step. I think I will move up to 2% emulsion next purchase. Definitely recommend.

    • Economical and Effective
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Skin feels softer and pores appear smaller in the first week. I did notice minor breakout for the first few days. This is a great alternative to expensive retinol products.

    • Lovely Product
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This retinol was easy to add to my skincare routine. It absorbs easily and left my skin glowing. It is thick but absorbs well and goes great under other products. I like that it's in squalane so has a great moisturizing effect. Being that it's not a water-based product I would apply first when layering with other products. ... show more

    • Soft skin
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This product leaves my skin very soft. It’s a little oily but I don’t mind too much since I use it at night. Great consistency and thickness. I have only been using for about a week or two so I am excited to see what results I get in several weeks of use.

Ever since I purchased it, I’ve noticed a drastic change in my skin. Plus I’ve been getting loads of compliments on how good my skin looks.

    • Inconsistent
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m on my second purchase because I really liked the product, but this time around it’s different. I held the previous bottle and the new one side by side and looked at every word and it’s the same, but the last bottle used to absorb fairly quickly, while this bottle is like pure oil and takes over 10 minutes for it to feel like it’s absorbed. I don’t love that. I wait for my retinol to absorb before putting on moisturizer, so this has considerately prolonged my evening routine. It’s a fine product, but not consistent from my experience. I wish this bottle was like the first one a bought, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. This may deter me from buying it again, but I’ll get through this bottle and see how I feel. Ultimately, it depends on whether or not my skin likes it. ... show more
