Love it, from the packaging to the actual product. Love everything about it. I been using it for fine lines and pigmentation and it gave me an added bonus of super soft and smooth skin.

★★★★★

Too oily for oily/combo skin. Like most retinols and retinals, the oiliness of this just feels unpleasant on my skin. I experienced no irritation, but I will instead repurchase their 0,1% Retinaldehyde serum.

★★★★★

Great Retinoate!
