Wonderfully gentle retinol...

This product is GREAT for those that have a problem tolerating retinol. It is not drying, it doesn't cause rashes or crazy breakouts, and it definitely does it's job. I have only been using for a little over three weeks, but I can see a small difference each time I use it. My son has also been using it as a first timer and his purge period was very mild and not as intense. It was more of a gentle process. I do like that I can mix it myself and know exactly when it was activated. The dispense applicator is nice and clean. All around, I really like the product and I'd recommend it. My son is going to continue using it. However, if you can tolerate retinol well and are expecting a major difference, I would say this one is probably not going to give you the maximum results. If you're looking for something that is maximum strength, this isn't it. I will likely keep this one as a day time application and use my more intensive retinol for the evening applications. Note: to those worried about having an issue with the mixing... I promise... it's really not hard. Just read the instructions BEFORE opening anything. There are videos on YouTube also so you can actually see it happen. Don't just open and start I'm if you're uneasy, but don't let the other reviews stop you based on those complaints alone if you're really interested. It's a great product and I'd definitely recommend using it.
