    What the gurus are saying

    The creamy, luxurious texture is the standout, and it works particularly well when paired with barrier-support ingredients like ceramides, centella asiatica, and marula oil that let people with sensitive skin actually use retinol. Formulated at 0.15% encapsulated retinol, it functions as both gentle treatment and moisturizer, and many recommend it as a gateway retinoid for retinol newcomers. Those who adapt with this formula often move on to stronger products.

    "If you have sensitive skin one of my all time favorite retinol products is Stradia Night Shift and if you've been around this channel for a little while you know that I continuously recommend this particular retinol because I think it is so beautiful. This formula contains 0.15% encapsulated retinol but the beauty of this product really lies in what else is contained in this formula. It has such beautiful skin barrier support ingredients like ceramides and allantoin and marula oil and when you put it on it feels like you're putting on a plushy creamy moisturizer. So when you apply this you're not only getting exposure to retinol but you are also getting these really lovely moisturizing ingredients as well. I probably first talked about Stradia Night Shift at least two years ago on this channel and since then I have gotten so many messages saying like yeah this was my gateway retinol and it has been so successful for me or I was never able to tolerate retinol until I tried Stradia Night Shift. So getting messages like that just reaffirm how amazing this product really is."

    "My final Holy Grail retinol is the Stradia Night Shift. At this point I have talked about this retinol product so many times on this channel but I'm consistent in what I like. This is such an incredibly beautiful creamy retinol product, so for people who have really dry or sensitive skin it's a beautiful moisturizer plus a retinol all-in-one. I also really like that Stradia is very transparent with how much retinol is in this product. So if you're someone who's trying to work up to being able to tolerate higher strengths of retinol or even move on to retin-A, with this you're starting with 0.15% encapsulated retinol. This product is absolutely my gateway retinoid product. If someone stops me at a party and finds out that I'm a dermatologist and they want a recommendation for a retinoid, I always go with this."

    "Stradia Skin just in general does a really good job with their skincare products and they also have a really nice retinol cream called Night Shift. It has 0.15 encapsulated retinol in it. It's super creamy and has a really nice texture to it. It also has a couple of ingredients that are really nice to soothe and nourish your skin, which is especially great when you're using a retinoid. They have a ceramide in it that helps to just keep your skin barrier intact, and then there's also centella asiatica which has just really great studies in helping to soothe your skin."
