"This little red bottled number. Now, Lash Pose actually do some other retinoids in their collection which are far better than this one. But this is the highest price of the options and their most viral product, which I think is such a shame because in here, not only do you have an undisclosed dose of retinol."

"Their retinol is pretty good because La Roche-Posay is an L'Oreal brand and they do put a lot of R&D in the product. It has niacinamide, which is helpful for redness. However, I do believe this product has fragrance in it, so I just stick to the CeraVe retinols or the Neutrogena retinols, which are really good. Retinols can be irritating, so having a fragrance in there just increases the chance of irritation."
