Great Retinol Starter

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

A fab product to get started with Retinol. I have personally found that it works best when I put it on dry skin in the evening after cleansing and then wait about 10 mins before continuing with the rest of my routine to give it time to sink in. Has never given me the "retinol uglies" but has definitely improved my dark marks. And you can't beat such a low price for retinol!

It is good, light and didn't have any negative symptoms. But waiting for the results needs more time.

No irritation

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

It’s a bit early to say if it’s working, but every morning I wake up with nice skin and it never gave me any irritation. I have to say I was using already a retinoid from another brand so I am a bit used to it, however, it is really mild and great for beginners.

Love it!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I read a lot about retinoids and as my skin was sensitive, I was always a bit worried. During the first lockdown a year ago I started using revolution 0.5 with rose hip oil. I liked it and used it every two days, and so decided to give this a go now that my skin was used to that. I love it. Reasonably priced, great texture and absorbs great into the skin. Have had comments on how my skin is glowing which is a major compliment as I’m in my mid 40s. Won’t be without it!
