Retinal Emulsion 0,2% - Tegn på ældning

RUINED MY SKIN

THIS IS A HARD NO. I knew purging was a possibility, but my skin went downhill so fast and even after two months of quitting using it, my acne is still horrible. I wish I never used this product to begin with :(

(I was given this product for my honest review) and I really wanted to love it, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype for me. Listen, I had high hopes. This little yellow bottle promised “high-strength nighttime treatment,” but it ended up being the skincare equivalent of a ghosting text, not doing a darn thing. Yes the texture is creamy, but it left my skin feeling weirdly greasy and dry at the same time. Make it make sense please! The product promises all these fantastic results, so I waited, and waited, waited some more. Weeks went by, and the only thing that changed was my patience level. No glow, no smoother skin, no fading fine lines. My skin looked exactly the same except a little more annoyed and irritated. Flaky patches popped up like uninvited guests, but results? Nowhere to be found. This was giving big “I promise I’ll change” energy… and then didn’t. If you’re looking for a retinal that actually does something, keep it moving. This ain’t it!!!

No results

This has done nothing for my skin. I’m 31, with small creases in my forehead, and this made no difference after using the entire bottle.

It’s not for sensitive skin

This product was not good for my skin because my skin is very very sensitive and this product is super strong for this skin,

Still experimenting

I’m very new to skin care — so far so good. This product is not irritating my skin but the only complaint I have is that I have difficulty sleeping. I’m not sure if it’s I’m still not used to products on my face. But I’m still going to give this a try.

I tried to give this a try. But my skin said no, if you have really sensitive skin start with a gentle retinol

A must have in my routine

I’ve been using this product for over a year and I must say I can’t go without it now. I have acne free skin, I got this at first just to help with the scars and hyperpigmentations. But to my surprise, it also helped with preventing acne on my face. Nowadays, except for the occasional hormonal acne I get during my period, my skin remains acne-free as long as I use this.

Fine lines reduced

My fine lines look reduced. Just wish they would come out with a larger size, I have to replace fairly often. Still worth it for the price, compared to other retinaldehydes.

This changed my life and I’m not exaggerating. I have extremely sensitive skin but I can tolerate this retinal easily. It took 4 weeks to start to see results (as all retinoids do) but the results were so good and fast improving. I barely have any texture on my skin after having the most stubborn closed comedones for months. 10/10 recommend

If you have combination/oily skin, consider using this product instead of retinol 1% in squalane. I had been using the retinol 1% for a long time, but I always found it to be too oily for my skin. There is none of that issue with retinal 0.2% because there's no squalane, I think it's slightly stronger than the 1% retinol, but I have been using it every day without irritation. There's a yellow tint, but not very noticeable if you only use 2 or 3 pumps each time.

Love it

I have used .3% retinal for a few years and wanted to upgrade to a stronger one. I’m so glad I found this! It has a nice texture, is absorbed quickly and did not irritate my skin. I also love the pump packaging. This one is similar to Paula’s choice. I tried a few months back, but at a much more affordable price.

Great product for the price. Saw a difference in a few weeks. Even my medspa told me my skin care routine was working!
