If there is a product that I love and never fails to be part of my evening routine it is Retinol or to better said Tretoin. This product has been proved by many studies and proof as the gold standard anti-aging product in the industry. And today I’m sharing you my experience with a great product

My opinion: I really like this product. Last year I used the one with 0.025% and I built it up for weeks and i ended use it every night without peeling. Once that happened, I was ready to upgrade to a higher concentration, so I went to 0.05%.
And wow! there is a difference, since the first time I used it i peeled. I decided to go very slow with this one. After 4 months I managed to use it 3 times per week (not consecutive days), no more. This concentration for me is strong and I think it will take a while for my skin to get used to.
But that is ok as any retinol journey is like a marathon, is better to go slowly that go fast and have a reaction on your skin. In my case I start the first month once a week, then slowly increasing the frequency and see how my skin reacts. If I start to peel, I paused for a few days and then let my skin to heal.
Retirides is my go-to retinol product as it is Tretoin (Vitamin A) and is helping my skin. It is my holy grail anti-aging product.
Note: usually you can buy Tretoin with a doctor’s prescription in your country. In Spain you can get Retirides over the counter. Don’t buy Retirides or any product that contains in tretoin on Amazon, as you may have the risk to buy a fake product that my harm you skin.
How long did it last: 4 months.
Score: 5/5. Holy grail status.

Hi Mishal thanks for your comment. The formula is vegan. Vitamin A is vegan it is man- made and vegan. And the other ingredient that may be non vegan in other formulas is urea wich in this case is synthetic so it does not come from animals. I hope I answered your question!
