## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Less wrinkles with a happy glow
*by P***. on March 1, 2026*

This works! After 2 weeks you will see a difference and your skin will look smoother and more even. It is a silky like texture and is absorbed quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST Retinol Squalene Serum!
*by J***A on February 26, 2026*

I LOVE this serum! It leaves my skin feeling so great in the morning and feels so nice on the skin! It’s a must have for my skin routine!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product for starters
*by J***B on November 6, 2025*

I am 30 days in and so far, no issues. I am going to re-iterate what another customer said as it was spot on for me. This is a good starting dose for people who want to titrate up over time in strength. It also doesn’t dry your skin out like retinol is known to do due to the form. I’m going to use the rest of the bottle then move up to the next strength and so on and so forth. The amount you get for the price is more than sufficient as retinoids can get pricey. This is a very low strength, no real scent to it, so I didn’t experience any irritation, burning or rash. It isn't sticky but is like an oil so I just put on like an hour before bed. I haven't noticed a change in my skin yet, I know that will take time. The only odd thing I've found is I am sweater and walk outside daily, I have noticed it leaves a weird yellow tint in my sunscreen and foundation after sweating. I just use a beauty blender to touch up my makeup and then it's fine. Doesn't really bother me.
