What the gurus are saying

Retinal at its core makes this serum notably more effective than retinol while staying gentler on sensitive skin, earning particular praise for smoothing crow's feet and fine lines around delicate eye areas. The addition of NAD+ and fifty peptides work to boost collagen and tackle dark circles, and the reformulated tube packaging is a major upgrade from the original clunky needle design. Those new to active retinoids may want to ease in with this one, though the gentler retinal form makes it more approachable than stronger alternatives.

"This has been around for like three years, but in the original form it was retinol as the key active, now it's retinal, one letter different but a game changer because retinal is much more effective than retinol and less sensitizing, so it's perfect for the under eye. It's got NAD, which is pro-collagen and helps with dark circles, and fifty different peptides which boost collagen and elastin production and plump out fine lines. The retinal over time boosts collagen to smooth everything out and eliminate crow's feet, it's a powerhouse. It used to come in a really clunky faux-needle style packaging which I hated, now it comes in a tube, so much better, better formulation, better ingredient profile and much better packaging. It went from an 8 out of 10 to a full 10 out of 10. Shop around because I've seen quite a variance in price and availability across sites. This is a great option if you're looking primarily for anti-aging, it's great for all round anti-aging. Absolutely love it."

"If you want a little bit more of a hydrating, nourishing formula, the Numbuzin Niacinamide Serum is a great one that I have loved for a long, long time, I literally used it today. It's a great product for not only hydrating the skin but also reducing that excess shininess."
