I'm currently on the last drop of this bottle, and I'm totally sure that it will be a repurchase, either right now or later. I always have some type of retinoid in my evening routine, and I use it every day as long as I notice that my skin can tolerate it. With this retinal serum, there have been no issues whatsoever, and that is one of the cornerstones of what makes an effective retinoid serum - that you can use it every day, or at least as often as possible. Retinal is generally said to be a bit gentler than retinol, plus it is more effective since it only needs one conversion before it can be absorbed by the skin, instead of two or more as is needed for retinol and retinyl esters. So why not choose retinal, I think!
Well, my skin wasn't feeling particularly good when I started using this serum, I was very dry. But despite this, I have never felt a hint of this serum stinging or irritating. The serum is semi-thick (can't think of a better word...), transparent and has a yellow tone. The yellow color comes from the retinal, which naturally has that shade. However, it doesn't show on the skin. It sinks in easily, gently, and willingly. I might think it leaves a TINY bit of a film behind, but that disappears with the remaining skincare, and I haven't experienced this as anything unpleasant or problematic at all. I use this in the evening, after my toners and before the marine collagen + ha serum, which is also from Revox. I finish with a face cream.
I like everything about this serum, from the price tag to the formulation and its effects. I think it helps keep my skin in the good condition it has been in lately. If you're wondering about the price tag and how good such a cheap product can really be, I can say that I wondered about that too. But the answer is: REALLY GOOD, obviously! And the truth is that I have liked almost everything I have tried from this brand, and my skincare routine currently consists of it for about half. And I am super satisfied! So I just want to recommend, it's so fun that you can test and experience good skincare without being half ruined 😍
