"This is the retinol reform, it's soothing for fine lines and wrinkles. It's made by Shaie Darden, she's an esthetician, a woman of color, and she literally has pioneered the skincare industry to make this brand happen. Her products are just as good as the fancy ones out there. Retinol basically gives your skin the ability to create more collagen, the strong stuff that degrades as we age and that the sun destroys. This helps rebuild it by triggering your body to do it itself."

"Shaie Darden's retinol is my favorite. The retinol reform is incredible, it's so beautiful, it really really does the trick. It's very gentle but you notice amazing results at least I did. It's one of those things that just, if you've never tried a retinol you really should like, I feel like that is an ingredient and a product that I feel like has made one of the biggest difference in my skin tone and texture just over the years. It's a very thin consistency so it really absorbs into the skin nicely."
