Sensitive Retinol Oil.

"This is their brand new Sensitive Retinol Oil, using hydroxypinacolone retinoate, which they say is a retinol great for beginners. Overall I would say I do like it, it's a good formula, it's got some squalane, it's got some bakuchiol, it did not irritate my skin, it was definitely gentle enough that I could use this even though I am also using adapalene. I still wish we had more research on this ingredient, and if you want the benefits of retinoids that have been studied for decades I feel it's a better idea to go with either retinol or retinal. So not bad, but still not going to be my absolute top pick for a retinoid product."

"Now oils are really popular for retinol products, some people really prefer them. I have always preferred more of like a serum or cream consistency for a retinol, but to each their own. Looking at the formula of this product I'm like, yeah it's a good formula. My main issue with it is that it is a dropper formula and retinol is already an ingredient that is very unstable. Now of course BYOMA doesn't use like true retinol, they use a more stabilized form of it, however dropper bottle formulas are so exposed to air, bacteria from the dropper touching our fingers or our face, light exposure, there are a bunch that get stuck up in the dropper itself, which is all fine and dandy unless you're dealing with very unstable ingredients like retinol or vitamin C. These types of ingredients I always just say it's better to go for airtight packaging or packaging that really won't expose the entire formula to sunlight or bacteria. [...] I don't see many retinol dropper formulas anymore, like five years ago there was a lot on the market, but I think over time people have adopted more stable packaging. [...] Maybe I'm just being nitpicky, but automatically this product was a pass for me, which is surprising because I love BYOMA."
