Their crystal retinal comes in a variety of strengths, ten being the strongest in the line. It does contain a little bit of fragrance from coumarin, which gives it a vanilla scent, but coumarin isn't super sensitizing, though it could be an issue for some people. It's free from denatured types of alcohol.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
