Reviews Summary
Customers say this retinol booster is lightweight, effective, and gentle on their skin. Many report visible improvements in skin texture, brightness, and clarity within days to weeks of use. Common feedback highlights its suitability for acne-prone and sensitive skin types, with users appreciating minimal irritation despite the 1% concentration. The product mixes well with moisturizers and absorbs quickly. Some mention a distinctive scent that takes adjustment. A few note the price is steep for the 15ml bottle size, though repeat purchases suggest strong satisfaction with results.

    Saved my combo acne skin

    This is soooooo good.

    I’ve used so many retinol products and this is the best for oily/combo/acne prone skin.

    It’s a bottle of miracle I would say.

    I live in Hong Kong, very humid and hot weather which is quite “hostile “ for skin like me, easy to breakout and congestions.

    This bottle really helps ! I’ve been searching in Hong Kong and Taiwan but still they haven’t got this particular product, but luckily I find it from Singapore website.

    Bought two bottles still using, would like to subscribe a year plan or sth if have stock again. Hopefully it will restock again. Best buy. Great great product.

    Great for sensitive skin

    I've gone through multiple bottles of this booster and I guess it says a lot!

    For someone with sensitive skin, the product applied well and did not leave any negative after effects. No issues mixing and layering this booster with other PC and non PC products. Surprisingly, this is one of the few products where I could see results overnight, nothing too drastic, but my skin felt more vibrant and clear the next day. The outstanding effect for me was that it kept my acne at bay or at least helped to calm breakouts during pms. This effect may not apply to everybody but it was a positive discovery for me.

    The only "negative" about this retinol booster is the funky smell. Again, it's not off putting but it does take some getting used to for new users.
