Retinol for beginners

Here are a few beginner friendly retinols that I have tried and loved so far. Note: Make sure to patch test first and not use any exfoliants with these.

Retinol Cica Moisture Recovery Serum

My first retinol, this one has cica in it which makes it a great beginner friendly retinol. Thankfully this did not break me out.

This serum is a gentle retinol that can be use for beginner. Contain cica that helps to calm the skin. Can be use everyday without making my dry skin more drying. The texture is easy to absorb without tingling

Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum

My only concern with this was a dropper. It's probably just me but I could pick the product up unless the dropper was empty

1. Beginner friendly retinol 2. Contains retinol and bakuchiol 3. Sinks right into the skin and gives that glass skin effect 4. The skin does feel refreshed. 5. The milky, slightly viscous texture works in sync with other products.

Retinal Lifting Pad

I love this toner pad. Great for prepping the skin before makeup. The gauze material of the toner pad is stretchable which makes it great for a quick mask.
