Retinol Reface

Great entry level retinol. No irritation, good on smoothly and a good price. I would recommend to anyone who is interested in starting out with retinol.

I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now (3-4 times a week) after much deliberation on if it was time to start using a retinol. I’m 27 and have dry skin, the occasional breakout but more lately with COVID masks etc. I tried after a friend recommended and after hearing Caroline Hirons talks about it as a good “starting retinol”. So far I’m very happy, it hasn’t been harsh or irritating which is great and hasn’t really dried my skin out either which is surprising because it’s winter here in Montreal. So far I’ve found it has definitely helped with the breakouts and uneven texture - too early to tell if it will perform any miracles on the very beginnings of signs of age/fine lines. The packaging is ok, I like the pink but air does get in so I usually have to pump a few times before I get product. For reference, I’ve been applying in the evenings with an eye cream and then just before bed will go over with a cream or oil for my dry skin. Great starter retinol but I think for my next one I would go for something a tad stronger.

I've been using this retinol reface 1% for a few weeks and I have to say my skin goes on well. I see the fine lines disappear and it saves me a pot of night cream because this is already incorporated into it. When using this cream, at least a spf30 is recommended during the day, because your skin can become more UV sensitive. I've been sold and will definitely buy it again.
