Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.
Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Pure Retinol Deep Anti-Wrinkle Night Serum 29 ingredients
It was easy to use for beginners like me, and I immediately noticed the difference. My skincare routine will continue to include retinoids.
Considering how gentle this is, I plan on increasing the concentration of retinoids. Eventually I hope to switch to adapalene until I can use retinoic acid.
I didn’t smell the fragrance (which is a good thing) but my skin was irritated by it. I use other retinol serums without any issues so it’s not retinol itself. Beware, use it only as stand alone from that product line. All of their products contain ingredients that cause irritation. After two weeks of creams and serums of their line my skin felt like burning, it was red and felt like leather.

Wrinkle fighter, cellular turnover
Retinol did nothing for my skin. After using different kinds of strengths and seeing no results I decided to give up on retinol and start using tretinoin and it was the best decision ever. My skin is becoming clearer and clearer every day.
