Reviews about Retinol 1% in Squalane

Girls, I need help. I bought this product and used it about 3 times, and something strange and unpleasant started happening: whenever I apply it on my face, it burns. On the 4th or 5th day after using it, my skin started peeling like a lizard's. I haven't used it for about a week, but even now, whenever I apply any kind of cream, lotion, toner, or even foundation, it still burns. What should I do? Should I wait for it to go away on its own? And will it go away?

I can say this: for the first time in 20 years, I can skip wearing foundation. I am thrilled with the result. I have combination skin at 35+, and I started using it immediately with 1%. Next time, I will start with 0.5%. I use it once a week because it acts on my skin like a professional peel at a cosmetologist's office. On the 3rd or 4th day, peeling begins and there are localized redness. A nourishing cream solves the problem, and voila - on the 7th day, the skin is incredible, and with each passing week, it gets better and better! I highly recommend it! They say that proven anti-aging products are retinol and peptides for a reason.

This serum is great, I've been using it for 2 months (it says it will take effect after 2 months) and I can see noticeable results, my wrinkles are smaller (I'm 35 years old). For my oily skin, the 1% light version works well - I will try the 2% version and add peptides to the serum instead of the cream.

One day I went out in the sun with SPF 15 - my face got slightly red, so now I'm using SPF 50.

The expiration date is short, but it's understandable because air and light can get in. I store it in the box and in the refrigerator.

I think if someone doesn't like this brand, it might be due to compatibility issues with other cosmetics, and it could be individual.

The product just sits on the shelf, providing no effect other than a slight moisturizing. I don't know how it affects others, but it doesn't cause any peeling or burning sensation on my skin.

This is the only thing that helped me with breakouts. To say that I am satisfied is an understatement. But I started with 0.5% and then switched to 1%.

In the morning, it is important to thoroughly cleanse with a gentle cleanser, use a toner, and apply SPF30-50.

In the evening, I use an AHA acid (Christina) (yes, they say you can't combine them, but both the dermatologist and the cosmetologist gave me the green light).
Toner,
Retinol.
I don't cover it with anything since it is already oily.

If you are just starting to use it, here are my recommendations:
Start by applying it 2-3 times a week, then every night.
Endure the peeling (the skin gets used to it).
Be amazed by the results.

I used half of the jar and it was quite disappointing. This product turned out to be useless and ended up in the trash bin. Moreover, it even caused a rash on my combination skin. It didn't provide any protection against pigmentation despite having SPF 50. In summary, it yielded zero results and instead gave me pigmentation issues and rashes. I used it overnight.

Girls, if you have acne, this is exactly what you've been looking for.
I couldn't get rid of acne for a long time. I tried peels (cool, but then BOOM, it came back), took pills for my gut, didn't eat sweets, flour, and dairy - it helps, but NO.
Then I finally decided to try advice on acne care. Yes, it will require some spending, but it's worth it!!

Morning:
1. Regular cleansing foam
2. Niacinamide (serum)
3. SPF, both in winter and summer
Evening:
1. Foam with acids (according to skin type)
2. Retinol (at night!!!!)
3. Moisturizing cream

It's been less than a month and I already have no new breakouts. Healing the spots.

Don't reinvent the wheel when dermatologists have been studying this for years!!! Self-medication can be harmful to your health!!!

It's very good, I don't like the smell, but for the sake of the effect, you can endure it. I used it every other day, didn't expect anything, and got a wow effect.

I am thrilled with this serum. It is olive-based, and I thought it would make my skin oily, but it doesn't. I apply it at night and wake up with perfectly smooth and nourished skin. Although my skin used to have acne problems,

I have been using it for about two weeks. The initial peeling quickly disappeared with a good moisturizing cream. I did not notice any worsening of the skin (which they promise at the beginning), but I am definitely satisfied with the improvements from the first application.

For those who are thinking of trying it for the first time and are currently reading reviews: take a closer look at the brand's products with a lower retinol content and introduce it gradually! It's not critical, of course, to start with this one, but there is a chance to minimize unpleasant side effects like peeling and redness. Also, don't forget about moisturizing and SPF.
