    "The best retinoid but use it carefully"

    I can see visible changes in the acne marks. A pea sized amount is enough for the whole face (Don't use more quantity because it'll makes your skin dry and may cause other skin damages depending on your skin type). Use moisturizer before and after application. If you are looking for a beginner friendly one, this one is not for you.

      "First buy"

      Well after using 4 bottles of the ordinary retinol my next step is to use their Retinoid results of the previous product used are quite good and I just hope this works good too.

      I ordered this serum for the first time to treat my dull and pigmented skin. I'm hopeful it will show good results. I’ll update my review after using one full bottle.

      "Worth it"

      This milky creamy retinoid is such a great find! So easy to apply - quickly gets absorbed. Will suit sensitive skin as well. Does not feel drying at all. Refrigerate after opening.
