"This one uses 0.3% retinal palmitate, which is a very gentle type of retinol, plus 0.1% retinol and 0.6% bakuchiol, adding up to 1% total. It also has five ceramides, centella, and five additional peptides, which I love. The more peptides I get in my routine, the better, I find them to be a total game changer."

Also contains panthenol, vitamin E, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid, all great for soothing, so it won't dry out skin or leave it irritated or itchy. Also has ceramides, argireline peptide, copper peptide, and matrixyl 3000 peptide duo. Super affordable. Don't sleep on it."

Yay
"I don't feel like I can fully review this one because I use a much stronger retinoid, so I don't know if I'll ever be able to say what results I saw from a 0.1% retinol product. That said, I do intend to keep using it because the peptide and ceramide ingredients alone are amazing, I think that's a non-irritating level, and I like bakuchiol with a retinoid. I love that they disclose exactly how much retinol is in this product."
