"I've talked about this a lot on the channel and what I like about it is that it's affordable. Costco have a great deal, a two for one deal at times. It has niacinamide in addition to its retinol complex, which is retinyl and retinol, and you have those two nice retinols put together. It's very tolerable, very gentle if you have sensitive skin. Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that will help increase collagen production, but this also has peptides in it to help boost collagen production as well. So you have a peptide complex and niacinamide, which is a vitamin B3 analog that will brighten the skin, help regulate sebum production, and it also helps with repairing the skin barrier. Instead of having a niacinamide serum that's 10% that's way too high, I like to have niacinamide mixed into my skincare products. This is something you'd use at bedtime just a pea-sized amount. If you have dry skin, definitely moisturize over the retinol."

Dermatologist Reviews: Affordable Drugstore Skincare Essentials

"I like Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Plus Peptide. It's very affordable, 30 something bucks. The Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 has peptides. The peptide complex also boosts collagen production, does cell signaling which is really nice, and also has niacinamide which helps brighten the skin and regulate sebum production. Retinols will increase collagen production especially if you use it for over 4 to 6 months consistently every night. These are so gentle and moisturizing a lot of times you don't have to put another moisturizer over it unless you're very dry and you get irritation."

"You get the Olay Retinol 24 Plus Peptide, fragrance free, which is a good retinol, and it also has the peptides in there which are probably hydrating and moisturizing. It's got niacinamide which is good for redness, hyperpigmentation, the moisture barrier. It also has 3o ethyl ascorbic acid, that's a stable form of vitamin C. It may help cut down on oxidative stress if you've got oily skin, that may offer you some benefit in terms of reducing the oxidation of sebum, but it's not actually going to get into your skin, convert to ascorbic acid and help with collagen synthesis likely. Panthenol is very moisturizing, lactic acid smooths and exfoliates as well as hydrates. Olay is on the pricey side. I've tried the Retinol 24, it's good, but I've not tried this new version."
