What the gurus are saying
This retinol ranks low on the priority list, mainly because the retinol concentration is hidden and sits far down the ingredient list despite the "intensive" label, leaving people unsure what they're actually paying fifty dollars for. The formula also contains fragrance, which can irritate skin during retinization, the adjustment period when starting retinol. The one bright spot: the tube packaging keeps it fresh and a little goes a long way, but experts suggest exploring other retinols first, particularly from CeraVe or other L'Oreal brands.
