Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane

Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane
I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about retinol. Some people's skin loves it and others can't tolerate it at all. I decided to jump right in with the ordinary 5% and to my surprise...my skin would KILL for this stuff. I can't believe it works so well...

Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane
It's a good product, I didn't experience any irritation, but used it in the moisture sandwich technique. I started to see results after the first month in wrinkles smoothening.
The formula is thick and will take time to absorb In the skin.
