I recently purchased a serum and have been using it for a short time to assess the effects of retinol. Based on the reaction on my skin, I can say that there is no irritation. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing since retinol is supposed to stimulate skin renewal, including exfoliation. I will continue observing. I use it at night. It doesn't absorb well. After some time, I apply a nourishing cream, but my face feels greasy for a long time, so I have to remove some before sleeping, otherwise it will transfer onto the pillow. Overall, I find it inconvenient to use, and I would like it to be justified. I will see. Perhaps after my skin gets accustomed, I will purchase a stronger retinol. I have combination skin.
This is a good oil with retinol. I know that retinol should be introduced gradually, but my skin reacted very calmly to a concentration of 0.5%, even though I initially fell for the fact that it was indicated as 5% in the title (it turned out to be 0.5% in conversion). I recommend using it, as it doesn't clog pores (I have oily skin), evens out the tone, didn't get rid of the folds around my nose and mouth, but I didn't expect it to, as this product is more of a preventive measure. It is a wonderful night care that leaves the skin looking healthy and well-groomed.
I absolutely adore the effect of this product.
