This is a really nice, beginner friendly retinol cream. It's gentle and doesn't cause any irritation. It absorbs quickly and feels great on the skin. The bottle is pretty small, but fortunately a little bit goes along way. I've been using it consistently for about a month and my skin looks great. I also use it in tandem with hyaluronic acid and a moisturizer. For reference, I have normal to dry skin with minimal break-outs. If you have more problem prone skin you may want a product with a higher amount of retinol, but if you need something gentle and moisturizing this could be the product for you!
