    I am a cult follower of Vitamin A’s! I used to be on Differin, but it is so much hassle to keep getting a prescription from a derm. This is a really great alternative with almost the same level of potency. It is very potent, so would definitely recommend starting with a lower %.

    Fabulous!!
    This retinoid is amazing. It helps control my acne, doesnt dry out my skin (I have dryish/comb skin) AND helps with my texture issues (little bumps that’s come up around my jaw.)
    I would recommend starting SLOW, especially if u are sensitive or have never used retinoids before. I used the “Barrier repair oil 80% squalane” a drop or two on my skin before and after applying this. I started off using it once a week at night, and now I’m up to alternate nights one month later.
    can’t recommend this enough.
    just remember ONLY use at night and use your sun block during the day!
