I have been using Versed Gentle Retinol for 2 years after failing to use regular Retinol. If I skip one night, I notice. As a 53 yr old it has kept my skin looking young. It helps overnight with any zits that pop up, and has faded noticable dark spots that I never thought would disappear. I always have compliments on my skin.

I was so nervous to start a retinol, but this is literally the perfect "starter" serum if you’re a total newbie or have sensitive skin like me! It’s super creamy and lightweight, and it didn’t make me peel or break out. I’ve been using it 4x a week for about a month and my skin texture is already so much smoother and my wrinkles look way better. Retrogaming1991 · sephora.com
