Retinol 1% in Squalane

product review positives

I started with 1% cause I knew little or nothing about how to start using retinoids in February but I didn’t slug on it. I introduced it gradually into my routine once weekly only at night. The purging stage was not visible at all cause they came in ...

product review negatives

The PAO is literally too small to finish a 30ml bottle, i ended throwing it into the trash with so much product still left in it

Retinol 1% in Squalane

product review positives

This is the a retinol squalene based essence. It’s one of the first few retinol products I used. It’s a gentle formula which did not irritate my skin.

product review negatives
