What the gurus are saying

This retinol moisturizer stands out for being genuinely moisturizing rather than drying, which matters if you're new to retinol or have sensitive skin. The green tea provides antioxidant support, and the formula is simple, fragrance-free, and affordable. Gurus praise it as effective for texture and scars, with the bonus of a generous jar size that lasts.

    "You get this in the US, you'll get it very easily. The brand is called Advanced Clinicals. You'll get a massive 500 gram jar. You can start using that, that will help with the kind of scars. If the scars are like dark spots, like if you had body acne, whatever you use on the face can be used on the body. So for instance, if you're using an acidic acid suspension or you're using tretinoin, you can actually put tretinoin on those scars and over a period of time they will heal."

    "I have recommended this in numerous videos and it's really good. [...] It is free of fragrance, it's a Retinol Moisturizer with green tea in it which is an antioxidant that may help combat oxidative stress. What I like about it is that it's actually pretty moisturizing. [...] This is a standout product. It's simple, it's effective, and it's affordable."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Retinoids

    Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.
