Retinal Renew 0,1 % och 0,2 % retinaldehydgel

Two weeks in with the 0.2% gel and my skin’s texture is noticeably smoother, especially around my cheeks, without any peeling like I got from other retinoids. The gel texture sinks in fast, so I can layer moisturizer over it without waiting forever. Definitely worth the patience if you’re new to it.

I’ve been using the 0.1% strength for three weeks and the texture is so much smoother than I expected for a gel—no peeling, just a slight tingle that fades fast. My forehead lines look softer already, and it layers fine under moisturizer.

My skin finally adjusted to a retinal after years of irritation with other formulas, and this gel’s texture is the reason—it sinks in like a light moisturizer, no greasy residue. The 0.1% is strong enough that I noticed smoother texture within three weeks, but gentle enough for my sensitive cheeks.
