Dear Me Beauty - marini review for Retinol + Blueberry Extract Face Serum

Retinol serum (originated from Italy) which functions to treat hyperpigmentation, acne, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Formulated with Encapsulation Technology which makes it softer. Easily penetrates the skin layer. Enriched with blueberry extract which is rich in antioxidants, aloe vera which can provide extra moisture to the skin while soothing it, and collagen which nourishes the skin. Packaging: Very unique, the bottle is in the shape of a ball that is super cute! Made of thick glass. Honestly, I accidentally fell and it didn't break 😂🙏🏻 Aaand I personally love it because it's purple 💜 Textures & scents: The texture is light milky—white in color, slightly yellowish. Quickly absorbs into the skin. There is a slight unpleasant smell because this product is formulated without fragrance, but it is not too bothersome. Disclaimer: My skin type is combination oily, acne prone, especially hormonal acne. The product that suits me may not necessarily suit you guys, please take this review with a grain of salt. Recently my skin is very sensitive to potentially stinging ingredients such as retinol and exfoliants. Experiences: As I wrote in the disclaimer, to be honest, I'm afraid to try new retinol products because I'm afraid of stinging and experiencing the "side effects" of retinol like before. But apparently I don't even feel stinging at all when I use this product! I can say this product is the most gentle retinol product on my skin so far… so I really recommend it for beginners 😍 And because this product has a light milky texture, I also feel that it has a slight moisturizing effect, this product is packed with a lot of hydrating ingredients for the retinol balance. It's a long time to see the results, especially for the anti-aging effect, but so far what I feel when I use this night routine in the morning my skin becomes more supple and bouncy.
