The inky retinol

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

The product has a gel texture that is well absorbed, an unbearable smell, what's more, there is no information about the percentage of retinol it contains, I purchased it once for the purpose of preserving and maintaining the skin, without any visible change

Gentle

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used this product for years now and it's a good every day retinol to use, not irritating or drying. I am an oily skin type and for majority of nights this cream paired with a bit of squalane oil is all I need for bright skin.

this is a good retinol to start with on your retinoids journey. it's gentle so it didn't break me out. i only use this twice a week max. bcs it does make my skin feel dry afterwards.

This is my first retinol I’ve used and for a beginner I think it’s fine. Hasn’t given the purge or bad skin so will move up in the % of retinol after this is finished

Perfect

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This blusher is so beautiful! I got a small one in a gift set last year and I’ve used it ever since. I’m not a fan of overly pink blusher and the shade ‘ginger’ is perfect for me. It stays on all day and is definitely worth the price tag.

Excellent value

I’ve tried a few retinol serums and this is definitely one of the best, for the price you can’t go wrong. Will definitely be sticking with this one.

This is a great introduction to retinol. I feel the more expensive ones are worth investing in but if you are just starting to use then this great
