Great for acne prone skin
Reviewed at
I was experiencing heavier breakouts than I have in years and decided to change my skincare routine. I incorporated this retinol 3x/week at night and noticed calmer skin the next day. I notice decreased blemishes in combination with salicylic acid and benzyl peroxide. A must-have for your skincare routine!
Great for mixing w your moisturizer
Reviewed at
Highly recommend for "cocktailing" with whatever evening moisturizer works for your skin! I really did not like this at first - it stained my pillows that famous retinal yellow. Gross! But when I started mixing it with my usual cream, voila! Great skin effects and zero icky pillow marks :) A request though... this product is clearly stronger than Cocokind's own beginner formula, but it's not that strong for experienced retinoid users. I recommend this product for it's formulation and combo of retinoid "speeds" but in my opinion it's an intermediate strength. I implore the awesome Cocokind team to make a stronger version with more retinAL that can compete with products for more experienced users that still want the benefits of the soothing ingredients. Please? Lovinah's retinal serum is a good example (but is way overpriced IMHO!) :D
Packs a good punch!
This product did not end up working for me, which is completely my fault. I tend to be sensitive to retinols but recently have been tolerating a 3% retinol serum just fine, so I reached for this advanced 5% as a step up. I used it for about three weeks, at first I had severe burning and irritation. Then, I worked my way up to every other day with limited irritation, but I still had very faint, pesky, red patches. Upon looking into this product further I discovered it contains Retinal, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate and Lactic acid. Going from a regular retinol to a retinal, retinol and lactic acid was a bigger jump than I bargained for and looking back I should have opted for their beginner product at 2% as retinal being included makes it much stronger. I did however, notice the tightening effect starting and my skill cell turnover rate immediately speed up. Awesome over the counter strength and results in under 3 weeks, just too strong for me!!
Has made my pores

Has made my large pores basically invisible. I alternate between this and the beginners retinol because I do have dry skin so I have to be careful not to dry it out further. I use this one-two times a week and then use the beginners on the other days and I’ve had no issues with it drying me out
A staple in my routine

I really enjoy this product. It does not irritate my skin and I am able to use it frequently. It cuts down on my breakouts and keeps my skin texture in check.
