It absorbs quickly without any sticky or heavy feeling. ✔️It's gentle and doesn't cause any skin irritation or breakouts. ✔️The product description mentions Granactive retinoid, which is said to be less irritating than retinol.
Cons✔️Since it doesn't contain any fragrance, the product has a slightly metallic scent. However, it's not a major issue as it's better for the skin than fragranced products. ✔️It contains phenoxyethanol (not in the serum) which can leave a slight numbing sensation on the skin surface after application, but it's not severe. ✔️While this ingredient is not ideal, it doesn't cause any eye irritation or stinging.
Tip✔️I'd recommend this to those new to anti-aging products or those with sensitive skin. It might be a good idea to start with this retinoid-containing product and then transition to a retinol-based product once your skin gets used to the ingredient.
