I’ve been using this product 3 times a week for about 1 - 2 months alongside with Vit C (which by the way smells amazing!)For the first few weeks my skin looks a lot more glowy and plumper but unfortunately I now have an acne breakout on my chin and jaw. It’s pretty bad. Worst breakout I’ve had since a teenager lol I’ve researched it and it seems this can be quite common with retinol - almost like a purge! So I’m going to carry on and see if I come out the other side  … fingers crossed!

I have never been able to tolerate retinol (in the past it triggered breakouts, red patches) and I am amazed at how lovely, plump and healthy this makes my skin feel. Follow the instructions for usage and you will see the difference in the first few weeks. It has a beautiful texture (creamy but light and absorbs fast) and very subtle scent. This is really one of the best products I have ever tried and I cannot wait to move onto Retinal 3! For reference my skin is normal-dry and sometimes sensitised and my staples are BR Vip 02 cleanser, Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads and LED mask, Medik8 vitamin C tetra (and now this!), La Mer soft cream, Valmont prime pack and Skinceuticals SPF.
