What the gurus are saying
At 1% retinol, this is the strongest concentration available over the counter, making it notably more potent than standard retinols. It works well on fine lines and hyperpigmentation, though acne scar results depend on scar type. The lotion texture with hydrating oils means it absorbs without a follow-up moisturizer, but those with sensitive or dry skin should start slowly since this retinol strength can irritate.
