What the gurus are saying

The squalane base makes this serum feel luxuriously smooth on skin, and that texture is what sets it apart from other retinol products with similar ingredients. It contains both retinol and retinal, which work through two different conversion pathways in the skin, making it potent without being as harsh as a single-step retinoid. Gurus see it as one of the standout retinol launches this year, though it's worth easing in slowly if your skin is new to vitamin A.

"The squalane feel to it is what really makes this product stand out to me. The ingredients in a lot of these products are going to be very similar, but it's that feel, that texture, the way you feel when you apply it, that really makes this product stand out. [...] I love it. Probably one of the best products in retinol to come out this year."
