This is an incredibly hydrating retinol serum packed with moisture. It's not completely liquid, but has a slight viscosity that helps the hydration linger on your skin's surface after application. While retinol is typically sensitive to sunlight and used only at night, this product contains a gentler form of retinol that can be used during the day. It's also less likely to cause blemishes for first-time retinol users. When you apply it generously before bed, you'll notice your skin has a beautiful glow the next morning. It's one of my go-to products for days when my complexion needs a boost. The fresh scent makes it suitable for everyone, so I highly recommend it.

I recommend this for beginners who want to check if retinol suits their skin, as it doesn't have a high retinol content! The texture is a bit thicker for a toner, so I use it as an absorbing toner rather than an exfoliating one or as a pack. It worked well even for my sensitive combination dehydrated skin. While I didn't notice any dramatic effects, I felt it evened out my skin texture. I like that it contains various ingredients besides retinol, such as vitamin C!
