What they flagged

  • Other retinoids may be more efficient
  • High concentrations can be too strong to start with

What the gurus are saying

This retinol serum's potency earns strong devotion from followers devoted enough to ditch Tinoan for it permanently, though others find competing retinoids work equally or perhaps even more effectively overall. The standout: it's potent enough that starting at lower doses becomes truly essential to avoid irritation, so approach it very carefully and slowly if you're testing it for the first time.

"It applies really nicely. It's got kind of a serum lotion texture to it, a little bit thicker. This one is light. This one's not very strong in terms of the microneedling. It's 100. So a lot of the other ones you can feel like a prickly feeling from one of the specific ingredients, but this one is pretty gentle."

"The 100 is 12 bucks which is the best deal I've seen on these yet because they are pretty expensive. If you have been wanting to try it I suggest starting lower. I started at 300 and that was not the best idea. Start out lower, maybe 50 if you have very sensitive skin or 100. Don't go to 1000. I typically just go straight to the harshest thing or the strongest thing which isn't always the best idea with skin."

"I have talked about this a couple of times already here on my channel and I really love this. I took a break from Tretinoin to test this and I have been so impressed with this that I haven't even went back to Tretinoin yet. I really like this. And sometimes I do take breaks from Tretinoin. I feel like it's nice to do that. At least I think so because I am somebody that still experiences flakiness and dryness around the mouth. Sometimes I still experience irritation. Even though I've been using Tretinoin for 6 years, I still experience all of that still. Not obviously as bad as what I did when I first started, but I just like to take breaks and just use other things. And I have really been impressed with this product especially. So this has the Reedles. So if you're familiar with this brand, they do have a lot of products with these Reedles and basically the higher the number, this is at 100, but they have other products that are even higher. There's 300 for some products and so on. So the higher the number, the more intense it is when you're using it. So this is basically like little needle-like fibers that help the absorption of the active ingredients that are in here."
