"Granactive retinoid is going to be the best option for you. If you're breakout prone, please go for this because it will transform your skin in about a month to 6 weeks. I wish I had access to products like this when I was younger going through my heavy acne phase, but even as someone that breaks out when I'm 40, this is something I will reach for when I need to just dial that back and just get any breakouts under control. Genuinely, I think granactive retinoid is a great super gentle but hyper effective option and this is the strongest granactive retinoid you are going to find on the skincare market. Dr. Sam always always formulates well and this is just a great great product."

"Next I'm going in with Nightly Pro. I alternate between that and tretinoin. My skin is just a little dry from travel recently, so I'm just having a Nightly Pro night, but that's just my personal choice to lower the intensity, so I'm not doing tret every single night. You really don't need more than a pea sized amount, if you're using a cream with Nightly Pro that's one pump, a little goes a long way. And if you're having to massage in lots and lots of retinoid product, you're probably using too much."

Effective Skincare Routine for Closed Comedones | Dr Sam Bunting
"Flawless nightly Pro is excellent, with 5% granactive retinoid in combination with niacinamide and bakuchiol, so it's excellent for those who are perhaps trying to tackle the signs of aging alongside tackling closed comedones."
