What the gurus are saying

Packed with two forms of vitamin A, glycolic acid and peptides, this serum earns praise for covering many anti-aging needs at once. Most takes are positive, though gurus split on who it suits, with some finding it not beginner-friendly and others a good place to start. One take urges a patch test first, since it packs many strong ingredients, and some gurus are not sure everyone can tolerate it every night.

Clogged or visible pores1 expert

“I've mapped out my face with a machine a year and a half apart, and with retinoin and Remedy as core staples in my routine, [...] the results show dark spots down, pores down, fine lines down.”

Doctorly, watch at 11:37

Irritated or reactive skin1 expert

Beyond50Skin, watch at 19:22

Loss of firmness1 expert

“When glycolic acid is used in the proper amount or percentage at the proper pH, it actually helps with firming and collagen production in skin with regular use. I didn't see that with this one, but I have noticed it with other glycolic acids and AHAs that I've used regularly.”

"I really love the Remedy Healthy Aging Serum which has a load of beneficial anti-aging ingredients. One of which is Auroline. It's one of the standout ingredients in this. And this will work really, really well as an all over treatment. It's inexpensive. It can work as a one-and-one because you could literally just cleanse your skin, put this on, use sunscreen if you're applying on a morning or a moisturizer on an evening and you have a robust anti-aging skincare routine in just one product."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Retinoids

Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.

Source: DermNet

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
