What the gurus are saying

Experts praise No7 Retinol as an accessible option for those wanting to try retinol without a prescription, noting the brand carries both gentler and stronger formulations. The 1% version comes with a buffering cream, which those new to retinol may want to use at first to ease skin into the ingredient. Those already using prescription retinoids should avoid applying them on the same day and always moisturize afterward.

"I've been doing [No7 retinol] or RoC Max Hydration retinol. Those are great to alternate with your prescription, but don't do them in the same day and always moisturize after."

"If you're on a medium budget, look at the No7 Retinol. It also comes with a buffering cream if you're not used to using a one percent retinol, and they also have a 0.3 retinol as well on the High Street."
