innisfree Retinol Cica Moisture Recovery Serum with Retinol, Salicylic Acid, and Cica, Gentle Korean Soothing Serum (Packaging May Vary)

I’m 36 and I’m starting to see some fine lines on my forehead and neck. I wanted to start incorporating a retinol into my routine, but didn’t necessarily want to go full blast into a high concentration as it can cause your skin to react and peel. With the cica inclusion (my face is prone to redness) and the salicylic acid also in this product, I was interested in trying it out! I had heard it was very gentle and especially great for first time retinol users.It’s been fantastic! It hasn’t caused a negative reaction on my skin and is good for a nightly use (although I use it every other night). I use Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream as my ending moisturizer once this has dried down on my face and it’s such a good combo - I’ve been using it for about two weeks and I definitely see a difference for my fine lines and less breakouts! I only use about one pump for my face and another for my neck. It also helps tone down the patchy redness on my cheeks.I use these guidelines for my own retinol use:- I make sure if I’m going outside I’m using sunscreen (not just relying on makeup sunscreen, ACTUAL sunscreen)- Following that, only use at night!- Make sure you’re looking at the products you’re using already in your routine as retinol may not mix well with some ingredients- Ensure this product is drying down on your skin before finishing with a moisturizer- As with any product, patch test on your skin before incorporating into your routine!I love this brand and very excited to keep this product in rotation! If you want to give retinol a try but aren’t necessarily ready to give a full jump in, I would highly suggest giving this a try.

This has been a repeat buy for me in terms of skincare. It seems to soften the surface of my skin and diminishes any discoloration I have. It is gentle and doesn’t cause my face to breakout which is such a plus because I can have reactive skin. This brand in general has wonderful products that I believe to be effective and conveniently priced!

I have a very sensitive skin and have tried other retinol before but always had allergies reaction. With this one I can use it day and night without having any problems. Amazingly surprised! This is what I’m look for this whole life. It makes my skin silky soft and smooth in less than a week and I’m also using it with their green tea set as well. I have heard amazing things about retinol but my sensitive skin doesn’t like any of them until I found this one. I’m so very very happy!

I got this product to try due to it being a lower powered retinal/derivative. So far it seems to be doing well, I wouldn’t say it would replace my normal adapelene or a retinal as it’s not really strong. It also smells like pencil shavings which is really weird… I do like that it’s very gentle and is so SMOOTH!! I wish it smelled slightly better. Not sure if I’ll continue to use after I completely use the bottle. I don’t feel it’s caused any breakouts so so far so good.

I love this product! It's perfect for everyday use, and you can really feel a BEFORE and AFTER when using it.I recommend it 100000%!

I love that it's stable enough that I can wear it night or day. Feels great on the skin, not super heavy and doesn't make me feel oily. Sets in nicely and I can put moisturizer over with no issue. With how little I use each time (2 pumps for face and neck) it's going to last me forever which I love!

I just received it, I am using it for the first time today, but no stinging or anything and it seems great so far. The only thing is the pump does NOT work so be wary ordering off Amazon :,)

This product is prefect. I use it a couple times a week and have noticed a difference in my skin. It is a nice bottle and the product is very smooth and absorbs pretty quickly.
