What the gurus are saying

This overnight cream earns strong praise from one dermatologist who has used it for years and recommends it to patients, though another expert flagged a concern about the clinical testing methodology, specifically that SkinBetter Sciences didn't test the formula's base without the active ingredient to isolate its actual effects. That means the true benefit of the retinoid itself versus just the moisturizer base isn't fully clear from their published data.
