Pros & Cons
Pros
This serum isn't retinol, they call it retinal, and its the most potent form available without a prescription. Retinal has been clinically proven to work 11 times faster than retinol. It’s also the closest thing to retin-a (tretinoin) that you can get... Read More
After completing one bottle, my skin looks so much better! My skin looks overall healthier and more even toned.
It has a smooth, non-greasy feel that leaves my skin feeling slightly tighter as it soaks in/dries. It goes on smoothly & even tho i have sensitive skin i have no problems with it causing any redness, peeling or other issues.

Cons
Just didn't work for me.

Competitiveness
I have used expensive brands of retinal and this one is much better.
This retinal serum is a wonderful serum and a good value in comparison to other retinals out there.

A tiny bit goes a long way so one bottle lasts forever for me it lasts almost 6 months but it’s not irritating like many strong retinol products

It’s gentle on my eye area but got accustomed to retinoids first by very carefully introducing it and increasing frequency slowly over a period of months

It goes on like a lotion smooths evenly is very yellow has a very slight scent but dissipates after you spread it around your face

Also retinal needs to go through only one conversion process before turning into retinoids acid unlike retinol which has to go through two processes
