Lower % Retinol help

I was using 0.2% The Ordinary Retinol serum and for a long time, and recently bought the 1% as the lower % was out of stock. It's too strong for me, obviously, so before I repurchase the 0.2% can anyone recommed a dofferent brand with low %. I haven't used Retinol before 6 months ago, so I'm not yoo knowledgable about other/better brands than The Ordinary. Thanks!

Once you start using retinol, consistency is a must. If you ever stopped then you’ll need to reintroduce it like a beginner again. Here are some that are low key and gentle retinol, I love the brand Sweet Chef and currently using it.
