Great, I am very satisfied with it and it works extremely gently, so you don't end up with flakes all over. I have the 0.03 version, probably going for anything lower wouldn't make sense. This is considering the fact that I have thin and dry skin.
I really like it. Next time, I will get the 0.06 version, but the retinol is really good. It doesn't irritate or dry out the skin.
I have been using this product for a month, using it once or twice a week. So far, it has been quite weak. Either I need to use it more frequently or increase the dosage. It does not effectively treat acne.
I did not buy it here, it was recommended to me by a cosmetologist. I have sensitive skin with couperose and keratosis (small pimples, bumps on the cheeks), and I started using this product for that concern. Initially, I applied it twice a week in the evening for two weeks, then three times a day for another two weeks... and so on until I reached nightly use. The consistency is pleasant, and I did not feel any dryness or tightness. My skin slightly peeled in areas where I applied a thick layer. The scent reminds me of a cinnamon bun, and I like it. Do not use such active products without consulting a doctor. Apply only at night, as the cosmetologist warned me that it could cause skin peeling and increase breakouts until the skin gets used to it. I did not experience any breakouts; instead, it dried out existing ones. Another big plus of this brand for me is that they do not work in Russia and support our country financially. I will try other products from this brand as well.
The cosmetologist suggested that I try this cream. During the first week, it is recommended to apply it every other day after evening skincare routine. What can I say - it's fantastic.
Be cautious when using products with retinol, and consult with your dermatologist beforehand. For my oily and problematic skin, it worked perfectly, I highly recommend using SPF during the day. After two weeks of use, my skin became much cleaner, pores tightened, and I am very satisfied. It does have a slightly drying effect, so it's important to moisturize the skin regularly.
I believe this serum is suitable for those who are just starting to use retinol. It has a low concentration, so if you have specific skin issues or signs of aging, you won't see much result. However, it will be effective if you occasionally experience small breakouts, redness, or stress-related skin issues. In my case, I need higher concentrations to maintain acne-prone skin, when it's in a clean state.
