Q: I have never used retinol or many facial skincare products. Is it okay if I use retinol because I heard it is really irritating

submitted by Reachingforretinol - 2 years ago
  • A: Hey, Great question! To acclimate your skin to the retinol, start using it twice a week (every three days) in the evenings. If you aren't experiencing any redness or flakiness the next day, you can bump it up to every other day—and then even every day if your skin can handle it.

Q: What’s the percentage of retinol in this serum?

submitted by Daisha - 4 years ago
  • A: At NATURIUM, our priority is to develop highly-potent formulations while ensuring skin compatibility. While we can't disclose our exact ingredient percentages in our proprietary blend, we believe our formula will not irritate your skin, while providing a very high level of performance efficacy. We believe that not all actives are created equally. The amount of actives does not always equate to efficacy. We use our actives at the clinical levels based on each raw material validated studies.

    Stefany - 27 days ago, Verified purchaser
    It’s a very light retinol. This would work fantastic for perfect skin and just want some maintenance retinol part of your nightly routine. If you have textured skin, dark spots, scarring or very uneven skin tone… this will not offer the results you might think you will get. Overall it starts giving a nice glow (skin renewal) within a couple of days. Lastly, there’s not that much product for $20. If you think about it, you end up paying just as much for a more potent retinol overtime (if you need one)

    Great for textured skin! First time using this line & exploring retinol. I’m 32 and struggle with textured skin. I tried retinaldahyde first but it was too strong. I have sensitive skin & have used nearly nightly for 3 weeks with fantastic results clearing acne, reducing pores/texture, & leaving my skin naturally glowy. I use the azelic (sp?) acid in the morning & their retinol complex serum at night after cleansing. Then I apply naturiams barrier bounce to seal.

    It has only given me major cystic acne. I know there is a “purging” period, but I don’t think purging involves cystic, painful acne. Avoid if you have acne prone skin.

    “I’ve been using the Naturium Retinol for a few weeks now. It’s gentle on the skin with no irritation. Despite its mildness, it’s highly effective—my skin feels smoother, and my complexion looks more even. Perfect for those looking for results without the harsh side effects. I would purchase again.

    This has been my favorite retinol product I've used, not irritating and didn't cause any breakouts or redness. I use it every few days in the PM and my skin is clearer and more even. My only dislike is the smell, I appreciate fragrance free products though. This will be a repurchase for me when I complete it.

    I've repurchased this retinol serum several times now. It's very gentle, allowing me to use it every night without breakouts. This serum is incredibly hydrating and has visibly reduced the wrinkles on my neck in a way that no other retinol serum has before. Would 100% recommend this product!

    Even prescription tretinoin doesn’t irritate my skin this much. If I use it more than one day in a row even OVER a super occlusive ointment type moisturizer it will irritate my skin and make it feel dry, sore & cause products to sting my skin.

    I’ve been using this product for a little over a week now. I have very delicate skin and developed redness on my face the very first time I used it (had never used retinol before) the redness subsided within 10-15 minutes. I have been using this product twice a day for about 10 days along with hyaluronic acid, moisturizer and sunscreen and have not had a similar reaction to the product since that first time. What I have noticed is a dramatic improvement in the texture of my skin, it feels smoother, softer and the very fine lines on my forehead seem to be improving a lot. It’s the only change I’ve made to my skincare routine so I know it must be the retinol working its magic! Definitely recommend.
