What the gurus are saying

This retinol earns praise for its distinctive citrusy-honeysuckle scent, though the yellow color can stain fabrics and leave a subtle tint on skin, so it is best used at night. Those new to retinoids or with sensitive skin may want to start here, as it is gentler than stronger retinoid options.

"This is the best, in my opinion. It is my favorite smelling product I've ever experienced. The experiential side of skin care is my favorite. It smells very citrusy, like honeysuckle. However, it [...] is very yellow and [...] does leave a little bit of yellow tint [...] on the skin. It can stain, so you should use it at night."
