A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum

Definitely worth the price IMO

The best thing ever! For someone with sensitive problematic skin, this is my new staple!! I washed my face and applied before bed, And the next morning no joke, I felt like I woke up to a whole new face!! In love with how soft my skin is.

Gentle and effective!

Really impressed by this formula. I have been rafraid to try retinol but as I approach 40 I really wanted to start using it. I got a good sized sample of this, enough to use 4-5 times and I can happily say it did not burn or cause massive breakouts or cause any super dryness with flaking! Made my skin feel a little tight but that was about it. Left me with glowing radiant skin! Excited to buy the full size!

Take it slow, and u will have the best skin ever

I know it’s expensive, but this product has helped me so much! I started with a 1% retinol from inkey list 3x a week to ease into retinol products, then used this 3x a week, then used this every night for many months. I have sensitive dry skin and was worried about damaging my skin barrier to the point that I’d have to stop all actives and start from square one again to build up tolerance, which has happened to me many times before when I tried to ease into 0.025% tretinoin. I never had any issues with this and gradually saw a reduction in active acne, though I still had milia and some small blemishes and post-acne hyperpigmentation. Over the months it felt more in control and I started to replace this product one or two nights a week with 0.025% tretinoin. No flaking! I’ve since successfully transitioned into tretinoin 3x a week and I use this every other night. I don’t use moisturizers after 8pm to make sure these products penetrate completely and are most effective. I can’t even believe I can do that, bc before my skin was always so dry and flakey I needed moisturizer twice a day. Now I only moisturize in the morning, and let the retinols soak in all night. this has been a 6 month process, but for the first time in my life I dont have any active acne and am seeing my post-acne hyperpigmentation scars fade. I'm finally not embarrassed to go out without makeup. Before, i would cancel plans with friends and dates bc i was so embarrassed of my adult acne. I have the full size and the travel size now, and I recommend this as part of a gradual tretinoin tolerance regimen for everyone. It also feels good to know I'm protecting my skin from early signs of aging. The key is sunscreen, slowly building up from 1%, and not using any other products except cleansers after 8pm to not dilute this product and get its full effects and potency (which is esp important if u dont have access to prescription strength tretinoin). So pleased with my results!

Definitely recommend

Made a MASSIVE difference in my skincare. I've been wanting to try retinol for awhile and this was incredibly impressive. There was a very short purge, but didn't irritate my sensitive skin.
