The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
It is a retinol serum. Honest Beauty made it. The formula contains retinol in a stabilized base. It addresses fine lines and skin texture concerns. Women and men buy it to reduce wrinkles. The product comes in a dark glass bottle. This protects the retinol from light degradation. The serum works at night on clean skin. Users apply a few drops before moisturizer. It costs around forty dollars per bottle. Shopping algorithms track it weekly across platforms. People search for it alongside other retinoids.

What owners single out
In their words
“Such an amazing PRODUCT! The feel of it is just perfect - it's really light and smooth and not sticky. My favorite part about the serum (other than it being completely CLEAN) is that it has a touch of shimmer in it to add to the brightening aspect. I feel so glowy after I use it and the redness I have on my face from sun damage has definitely reduced. It’s hard to find products that actually work!”

“I love this serum; it’s my night time go to. My skin didn’t have any reaction to it and it made my skin feel moisturized. At first I was skeptical because its not a thick moisturizer type of cream; its a serum. It absorbs into my skin well without any residue. Only thing I wish is that it came in a larger size because it’s expensive for 1 fl oz.”
