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
