An instant next-day smoothing and airbrushed glow is what experts consistently report with this French pharmacy pommade, though skeptics say retinyl esters don't meaningfully transform skin the way stronger retinoids do. The thick ointment base suits dry and sensitive skin; it itches on application and won't prime you for stronger retinoids. Reserve it for beginners or winter if dryness is an issue for you.
