None, except for the price. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but honestly, worth every penny.

If there’s a cream that truly defines occlusive, this one is it. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but I genuinely feel how incredibly well this cream works on my dry skin, since using it, my skin has never felt dry again. It’s an absolute lifesaver for anyone using retinol, retinal, or even tretinoin. Pairing retinoic acid with this cream has been a game-changer for me, keeping my skin barrier strong, hydrated, and irritation-free.
I use it every night, and on retinoid nights, I apply it using the sandwich method, the perfect combo for smoothing fine lines, brightening, and evening out skin texture. The texture is thick, with visible ceramide beads, but surprisingly, it absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel greasy at all. Every time I wake up after using this, my skin looks glowy, plump, and deeply nourished. I adore this cream, huge thanks to whoever formulated it!

None so far. I honestly love everything about this retinal!

For my first experience using retinal, I’m so impressed with the results! My skin was already used to retinol, so I didn’t need a long adjustment period, and there was no irritation at all. The biggest difference I noticed? Smoother, brighter skin and fine lines disappearing! ✨
Right now, I’m using it twice a week, alternating with a 0.5% retinol serum on other days, always pairing it with a good moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated. Super happy with how my skin looks and feels! If you’re new to retinal, I recommend starting with the sandwich method and using it just once a week at first.

I honestly can’t think of a single downside!

I absolutely love this serum! It’s the best vitamin C serum I’ve ever used. True to its claims, it’s perfect for sensitive skin, doesn’t cause breakouts, and in just 7 days, it really brightens the face and fades acne scars. I highly recommend this vitamin C.

None. There might be better toners with similar functions, but this one already does an amazing job, so I have no complaints.

I use this as the first step in my skincare routine to prep my skin, and so far, it’s been great. No irritation at all, if anything, it actually helps soothe my skin thanks to the centella. Besides brightening, it also gently exfoliates with natural ingredients like apple extract, making my skin feel fresh, smooth, and ready for the next steps.

Since the Tone Brightening line is all about radiance, this toner is packed with brightening powerhouses like Madewhite, niacinamide, and vitamin C derivatives. But what I love most is that even with these active ingredients, it’s still gentle enough to layer with other brightening skincare without overwhelming my skin.

Another thing I love, it has zero fragrance! I literally don’t smell anything, which makes sense since they don’t use any added scents, perfect for those with sensitive skin. The texture is super runny and absorbs incredibly fast, so it never feels heavy or sticky. I use it morning and night, just one layer applied directly with my hands and tapped in.

Honestly, nothing major! It takes a little longer to absorb, but that’s a small trade-off considering how well it works on my skin. Definitely worth it.

I love how this serum is packed with powerful brightening ingredients the madewhite capsules, combined with niacinamide and tranexamic acid, work in different ways to give my skin a healthy, radiant glow. After just a few uses, I noticed my complexion looking noticeably brighter and more even, without any irritation or breakouts.
I’ve been using it along with other products from the tone brightening line, and the results have been amazing, definitely a game changer in my routine.
