What the gurus are saying

This serum's potency without irritation is its distinctive strength, a balance gurus credit to barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides, cholesterol, ectoin, and fatty acids. It works equally well for retinoid newcomers and for anyone stepping down from prescription tretinoin; both groups report visible results and easy skin tolerance. At $55, price is steep; texture clumping at the bottle mouth is a minor recurring complaint.

"This one uses 0.1% encapsulated retinol, so it's probably going to be one of the more gentle ones. It's got ectoine, it's got ceramides, it's got bisulfol, it's got everything going on. I would say it's on the very gentle side. However, I will mention it does contain fragrance. It doesn't have a strong scent. I can use it. There's a lot of products that have fragrance that my skin doesn't tolerate, nor does my migraine tolerate, but this one is okay. One thing to note: every single time I go to use it, there's just a clump at the front of it and it's annoying and frustrating. That stuff's really nice though. At 55 bucks, it's worth checking out."

"The Peach and Lily Retinol for All is a great one. It's a little bit more expensive, but these products are amazing. If you don't use retinol, it's worth incorporating into your routine, maybe a couple nights a week switching up with other products. Retinoids are great for your skin, it's vitamin A basically and it helps your skin firm up and it helps it re-heal and things like that."

"With a 10 being a perfect score I give this one a seven. It's got a lot to like but it's pretty pricey, especially with the new packaging. Overall it'll be nice for most skin types I think could handle using this pretty easily, even if you're newer to retinoids."

PEACH & LILY 🆕🍑 New! MiniProtein Exosome Bioactive Ampoule Full Review and How to Use
"A little bit of it goes a long way. I'll use it right after my toner and before my moisturizer. It works great paired with their Retinol for All. In the winter this will be nice because my skin gets pretty dry in the winter. Beneficial ingredients in this one include hydrolyzed rice protein, which is an emollient that helps with skin barrier repair and plumps the skin, also helps soothe redness. We've got soybean protein which is an emollient. We've got verselin which is a proteoglycan that's involved in maintaining elastic fibers. Helps firm skin and boost elasticity. It helps plump skin by helping skin hold on to water and may reduce the appearance and depth of wrinkles which is an amazing ingredient. We've got centella which is an antioxidant soothing ingredient."

Ranking Summer Skincare Empties! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
"This is one of my favorite higher percentage exfoliants available in the K Beauty world. I really really love this product. This is actually the product that I used when I discontinued my tretinoin prescription and I went right into this product and I don't regret it at all. This was the perfect bridge for me. It is a potent product but it's a lot gentler than prescription tretinoin. They've formulated it in a way that helps your skin accept the retinol dehydrogenase, which is a little bit more potent than retinol. It takes one less conversion step on the skin to turn into retinoic acid so it is effective and potent, but they've just formulated it in a way that feels so balanced and it was really easy for my skin to accept this. I got really nice results with that retinoid glow. I did not lose that from coming off tretinoin and I didn't really lose anything from stopping my tretinoin and continuing with a good retinoid like this one."

"This is Peach and Lily Retinol for All Renewing Serum. It uses 0.1% of retinol dehydrogenase, and there's also ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, and some ectoin in here. It really is designed to keep your barrier strong as you're using this product so that the retinol isn't too aggressive on the skin."
July Faves | Peach & Lily, Dermatica, Dr. Jart, Purito, Naked Sundays
"I really landed on the Peach and Lily Retinol for All serum. It's 1% retinol, which is a little bit more potent than retinal because it takes one less conversion step on the skin so it works a little bit faster and is a little bit more potent even in smaller percentages. I really like the formula because it's really focused on barrier care with ceramid, cholesterol, and fatty acids. There's ectoin, which is a great ingredient for keeping the skin hydrated, and that's important because your skin feeling dehydrated can be part of the retinoid scaries. It's got the lipids that keep your barrier strong so that you can tolerate the retinol. My skin's doing great with this, it's really taking to it well, and I'm still seeing the results in the mirror."
