Best non-prescribed retinol products on the market

A+ High Dose retinol was my stepping stone into getting my skin use to retinols. I started my journey of retinol use with this product, which I still use to this day. On nights I am not using a tretinoin, I alway reach for my tried, and true Sunday Riley's A+ high dose retinol. I have never receiv...

Beware of a bad reaction after 1 week of use

Whenever I try a new skin care product, I use it solo for one week to eliminate the variables in my personal 'clinical trial'. While the product smells fairly bad, I attributed it to no extra perfumes, so I got past that. I used it for 5 days as directed. It made my skin feel 'polished' and some ...

This is easily the best OTC retinoid I've tried. My skin doesn't purge when I start and stop using it, it doesn't wreck my skin barrier or give me dry patches, and it basically eliminates texture and fine lines. The price is steep so I usually only buy it when it's on sale, but I would pay full price if I ran out.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Got some samples of this and was excited to try it but I couldn't leave the product on my face for more than a couple of minutes and had to wash it off. It smells like BO/feet and I just can't. Maybe I got a bad sample but I saw another review like mine so had to share.

Ounces are less than advertised!

I can't even give an honest review about this product's potency or lackthereof because I don't even think I got 4 uses out of it (not lying!). This was not a sample size. I paid for this "Full Size" product. I ordered it online, so I know it wasn't a product I bought from the shelf that was used and then accidentally sold. I knew how many ounces I purchased, so I had/have a round about idea of how long this product should have lasted me. I'm so disappointed because the ounces definitely did not match up with the promised label. I thought maybe the pump was broken, so I opened it. Nope; not broken. Just an empty bottle. I could not return it because the whole bottle was used up, and they were not going to believe that I was actually telling the truth, so I was just out the money. Beware of this if you purchase.
