Skin looks fine, pillowcases don’t

I've been using retinol for about five years, including popular products from The Ordinary and CeraVe, and I've been using this product in varying strengths since December 2024. My skin stayed clear and I like the texture and how it feels on my skin, pretty much on par with CeraVe. It's hard to judge the effect on wrinkles at 33. I have some and they seem to stay about the same—maybe the retinol is keeping them from getting worse, who knows? But after nearly two years of yellow pillowcases, I'm done with this product. Please get back to me when you figure out a colourless formulation.

Light and not irritating

I used up one bottle, am on my second now, moved up from a light Korean retinol to 0,2 retinal right away. My use was 7 days a week until recently when I added 2 acid days to my week (Smooth Out is a glorious recommendation as well). Not once did I have issues or sensitivity, it spreads easily, does not leave a fatty sheen on the face like oil based retinol serums. Yes, you are a bit yellow if you apply 3 pea sizes like me, but just wash your pillow case a bit more often, it washes off easily :)

Love this product & company

Excellent customer service, and the I love how the product feels in my skin. I'm new to retinol so I've only been using it twice a week for about a month and I can already tell a slight difference. Excited to see how my skin will look with more time.
