"At $65 you also have Kiehl's Micro Dose Retinol, which has ceramides as well. The percentage with Kiehl's is not disclosed, so one can assume that it's probably on the lighter side, but if you have inflamed skin barrier, you're prone to dry skin, etc., it's probably one that you want to look for if you're trying to find other things that help with the look of crepey skin or wrinkles."
Approved
"One of our favorite starter retinols is the Kiehl's Micro Dose Retinol, which slowly releases over time micro dose amounts of retinol so you don't get that irritation. If you're looking for a starter retinol, that's a really good place to start."
