Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum - Anti-aging serum

Expensive but love it

This product is on the pricey side but it's worth it. I'm 41 with sensitive/combo skin and my skin always looks great after I use this product every other night. I also love that it's a cruelty free brand. Already purchased my second bottle.

This retinal is amazing. At the very end of my first bottle. Has never irritated my sensitive skin. Leaves me with glowing smooth even results . One of the most consistent and reliable skincare products I’ve ever used.

Expensive, but a great retinal product

I really love this product! It applied so nicely, and my fave always looks visibly nicer the morning after I have used it. I had stopped using it due to the price and noticed a shift in my skin. Now I use it on alternate days of my tretinoin cream. . Great pricey that isn’t recommended enough in the retinal category

Love

I’ve used this product for almost a year now, the first couple months I only used a pea size amount (one pump) once a week, then gradually built up to every other day. My sensitive skin hasn’t had any bad reactions. My skin looks brighter and I’ve noticed some fine lines I previously had not be as noticeable anymore.

Favorite Retinol

I'm 34, fair skinned, with mild texture, old scarring, slightly enlarged pores, and some mild acne on my jawline. Honestly, not bad skin, but could be improved. I've tried at least 10 different retinol products, high end like Drunk Elephant or Lancome, or drug store like Cerave. I know it takes time to see a difference, but I never really did. UNTIL I tried this serum. my skin drank it up, felt pumper, younger, smoother, and gorgeous after 3 uses. I don't use it daily, I use every other day. Improvement across the board, will repurchase.

Worth every penny

This product is pricy but so worth it. I just repurchased my second bottle. My skin has never felt softer and the texture is literally gone!

Best ret out there

I have dry sensitive skin, and react so well to this! I use it twice a week and definitely think it keeps my skin clear.

Genuinely liked this product

I've been using this product for almost a year now, some weeks I go lighter on it but others I do 4-5 times a week. I really do think this is working to prevent fine lines/wrinkles, and smoothing out my skin! I would recommend this for anyone who wants to add in a retinol product but maybe doesn't want to go the clinical route just yet. For me, the yellow tinge doesn't bother me and hasn't stained my sheets (beige/off-white) and I go in with the TATCHA Dewy Skin moisturizer afterwards.

Worth it

Makes my face so smooth and really helped with acne scarring and discolouration. My face wasn't sensitive to the product and the yellow colour didn't bother me at all

Wanted to love but broke me out

I wanted to love this, I really did. Everytime I use this, I get big purges with breakouts. I have it more time and have been using for a month or so with easing usage and still breakouts. I use the drunk elephant retinol fine and have no issues.

Amazing Work on Pores and Acne!!!!

Booooooy do I love this serum! I've used other retinoids, I use for some acne issues and for anti aging purposes, I've bernbusing it for a week now, and from the first application my my pores appear smaller than I thought possible lol. I have never seen such immediate results! I have yet to see the full anti aging benefits yet (maybe a bit in my mouth but that could be from another new addition, as it's only been a week and I was using retinol before this but I have noticed my skin a bit brighter and clearer than ever! I rotate every other night with the ordinary salicylic acid on the other night and if your skin can handle that assault, you should be impressed! I do agree with some of the other reviews on the yellow tint, it will leave one but I use this at night and it is pretty well faded by the time I wake up! I also have noticed no irritation or retinol purging using the stronger retinal, but I use some good hydrators and my skin is pretty resistant! with my last retinol I was using it same night as salicylic acid but have yet to try it with this new one, but I don't know that it's necessary, this is pretty good ... even when used every other daya

Happy with it

I've been using retinal specifically for 2 years now with Medic8, and loved it, but it's pricey, so I decided to give it a try for this guy, and even though I do not really tolerate niacinamide well - I overall happy with the way it works. Even though I had to return first bottle because pump didn't work, I still believe it worth 5 stars. Price point is also not that bad in comparison to similar performing and strength retinals. I do recommend it.
