This was my first retinol product, The formula is an oil but after applying it, but it doesnt feel oily at all. Theres also no purging nor any stinging. After applying the oil and my usual moisturizer i dont feel heavy. Sometimes after i wake up i may feel a little bit of oily-ness but i usually wash my face in water in the morning so obv its basically not a problem at all when ur sleeping.

Good deal. It helps me to reduce small wrinkles on my forehead and unclog my pores. Also, it helps me to get rid of pimples.

Bye Acne
Very aggressive but very effective (Not as aggressive as the Clindoxyl). Benzoyl peroxide is no joke! I have used on my back acne and on the hormonal acne on my face, both worked perfectly. But never forget the moisturizer! Always follow the instructions written on the box and you will have no problems.
