No7Pure Retinol 1% Night Concentrate - Anti Wrinkle Retinol Serum with Collagen Peptides & Niacinamide for Younger Looking Skin - Firming Face Serum for Fine Lines & Wrinkles (30ml)

I’ve tried a lot of retinol products. I was a Paula’s Choice user for over a decade starting in my early 30’s. I am now 47 and have been using mostly Cereve products but have also tried lots of others along the way. This is, hands down, the BEST retinol product I have ever tried. Since I am an experienced skin care junkie I am typically not at all worried about a retinol being too harsh or having to start off sparingly. I’ve done medium grade level peels at home. So I slathered this ish on like I typically would. Two days later? Holy moly. Absolute peeling. A peel better than a 30% glycolic peel. No irritation though. No sensitivity or redness. Just good solid results. Read that again. Peeling yes. ZERO irritation, burning, sensitivity or redness. My skin looks ridiculously noticeably improved after just ONE application. Smaller pores, more plump, definitely brighter and superfine wrinkles are diminished. FWIW: After slathering this on before bed, I followed the next day with both an AM and a PM application of The Ordinary Marine serum (soley - no other products other than cleansing with Cereve Cream to Foam hydrating cleanser.) The Ordinary Marine serum is amazing too. The hydration is incredible. (If you like Elemis Marine products you will find value in the ordinary marine serum!)I’m still peeling at day 3 but in the easiest way possible and with proper prep my makeup turns out fine.Honestly this stuff is now HG status for me. I can’t wait to see what the cumulative results are. I’ve never left a review on Amazon before but I had to be a town crier about this!

I have been using Rx retinols on & off for decades.I use this product twice a week. But it never worked on my nose pores.I’ve been using this every few days on my entire face. I recommend using it 1 to 2 days on your entire per week depending on how your skin reacts. But, I use it daily only on my nose pores & it has greatly improved pore size.Use it sparingly.As far as the scent, well it’s “medicinal” smelling and it does go away after a few seconds.]I absolutely recommend using this product. It leaves my skin soft, tight & with minimal sloughing.

I really love this retinol . Best 1% retinol on the market IMO . Good strength and moisturizers help with redness and irritation. just a nice pink glow .Not happy with the sudden price hike but still the most affordable and effective

Gentle enough for sensitive skin. I’ve noticed my skin is softer, pores are diminished and much more even skin tone.

I've never had super sensitive skin and I'm only using this on my cheeks, but omg after just one use, my skin about melted away. It's been 4 days after the first use and my skin is still red and sensitive. It wasn't as bad as a chemical peel but close. I used the amount instructed and I also bought the soother serum that was suggested. Even though it's definitely irritated and dried my cheeks, I can see the skin texture is much smoother... just with one use!! It's definitely worth the money if you're wanting to smooth the texture of your skin and minimize lines. But be ready because it's potent. Definitely don't recommend using in the summer and maybe not in cold weather like I did when skin is already dry.

The No7 Pure Retinol 1% Night Concentrate is a standout product for tackling fine lines and wrinkles. With 1% retinol, collagen peptides, and niacinamide, it delivers noticeable improvements in skin texture and firmness. After a few weeks of use, my skin feels smoother, more hydrated, and has a healthy glow.Despite its potency, the formula is surprisingly gentle, especially when introduced gradually. It absorbs quickly and layers well with other nighttime products. If you’re looking for a high-quality retinol serum that effectively targets signs of aging, this one is worth the investment!

WORKS!

I've used this product for some time & now all of a sudden it's breaking my face out. ????
