It absorbs beautifully, layers well with other products, and doesn’t cause irritation when used properly.

I used to use tretinoin under the eyes and wondered if this one would work for wrinkles there** A: I use it quite close under the eye but I think the key with retinol is start off on the lowest % and build it up otherwise the skin can react. Tbh I would seek a qualified persons advice before hitting a 1% retinol ☺️ **Q: how much vitamin A (retinol) in this? In IU, not percentage.** A: I purchased this and it turned out to be a fake product, only buy from the ordinary ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by K***Y on 8 May 2026* Using on and off for two weeks and my forehead wrinkle has gone and my scar is smaller ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful, Affordable, and Skin-Transforming A Retinol That Delivers! *by I***A on 4 November 2025* This serum is a game-changer!

My pores are so clean and have definitely shrunk! My complexion in general looks so much brighter and better and the fine lines on my forehead are reduced.
