The powerful serum is billed as being gentle enough for nightly use, according to the brand.
What we say: This retinol serum is said to be suitable for oily, combination and normal skin types. With combination skin, that is sometime prone to redness, our tester introduced this serum into her nightly routine at a frequency of every other day.
She applied two pumps to freshly cleansed skin avoiding the eye area, as directed.
With use, she noted some redness, which was noted as a possibility on the brand packaging along with temporary flaking, peeling and sensitivity. Sunscreen is an essential skincare element when using a retinol — also known as vitamin A — especially one with a higher percentage.
With continued use, she noticed a marked improvement in the overall tone and texture of her skin along with a reduction in the appearance of fine lines.
Where to get it: Sephora, Dermalogica.ca.
What it will cost you: $128.
