I have been using it for 2 days now but I'll say that it's a refreshing experience so far. The texture is liquid but not watery, lighter than a lot of retinol serums, and absorbs well. I have been using retinols for years, so this didn't irritate me at all. The ingredient list is huge, a lot of which are soothing ingredients, so it makes sense that the serum feels very light and calming. Niacinamide is one of the top ingredient, followed by retinal and then centella asiatica. Which is to say, the retinal percentage is not that high, so I feel that beginners can use it. Even so, I can see visible retinal effects like some lightening of my hyperpigmentations and tightening pores. And the price is so good for the amount you get. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is looking for a retinol product that is lighter textured, soothing and gentle on the skin- not something that is heavy duty and strong.

A very good product. It does what it says (reduce fine lines, minimize pores, hydrate). It can br used in elbows and knees to reduce hyperpegmentation.
