Overview
Not a cream or a lotion, this is a retinol serum in oil form with an aloe scent. It is aimed at hydration, moisture and wrinkles, and the listing names retinol as the one active.
Retinol with a hydrating focus covers wrinkle care and moisture in one step. The limitation is thin detail: no retinol strength, no directions and no list of what is in the box.
Who it's for
People adding a retinol step to a routine for wrinkles and dryness will find the focus clear. All four listed skin types are covered, from dry to oily. Shoppers who dislike an aloe scent or want printed strength details should check elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Retinol as the key ingredient
- Hydrating and moisturizing focus
- Wrinkle care is listed
- Covers every listed skin type
- Retinol strength is unstated
- Directions not listed
- Aloe scent is not optional
Performance notes
Retinol works by speeding up how fast skin cells turn over, which is why wrinkles are the stated target. The oil form carries the active and adds moisture at the same time. Results depend on retinol strength, frequency of use and sun care, none of which the listing states.
