What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Resurfacing Retinol Serum
4.1/5
Reviewers praise
  • Encapsulated retinol releases gradually, reducing typical dryness and peeling compared to standard retinol products
  • Contains ceramides, niacinamide, and licorice root extract that soothe inflammation, brighten skin, and strengthen the skin barrier
  • Lightweight texture absorbs quickly without pilling or leaving residue
Reviewers push back
  • Retinol percentage is not disclosed on packaging and appears lower than prescription alternatives
  • Requires slow introduction—two to three times weekly initially—to build tolerance
  • Not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
Reviewers agree this is a well-formulated, beginner-friendly retinol serum with supporting ingredients that minimize irritation, though they differ on which skin concerns it handles best.
— best for: Best for retinol beginners with sensitive or dry skin seeking gradual improvement in texture, post-acne marks, or early signs of aging without harsh irritation.

No one will ever pry this cheap retinol out of my hands. Goes on silky smooth and keeps my skin texture soft and is the most effective at keeping acne at bay over any other retinol I have ever tried and I have purchased many more expensive brands. It’s gentle enough for me to use every single night and if I go away and forget it I immediately have whiteheads. I notice such a difference in my skin Klarissa Q · influenster.com

I got this as a free sample from RoC and I absolutely love it. I will be buying it in the future. The fact that it works throughout the night is great for me, it's very hydrating and feels smooth and silky. My wrinkles and fine lines have decreased in just a few weeks. Tammy69 · RoC
