1. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE FROM PRESCRIPTION-STRENGTH RETINOL?
Retinoids are the group of Vitamin A derivatives that have been proven to stimulate cell renewal. The active ingredient of Vitamin A is retinoic acid. This serum contains two powerfully gentle retinoid ingredients, retinaldehyde and retinol. The retinaldehyde in this formula is time released to ensure maximum stability and absorption while allowing the Vitamin A active work gradually while you sleep for maximum efficacy.
2. WHY SHOULD I ONLY USE THIS AT NIGHT?
We recommend this serum in evening use because retinol and retinal can cause sensitivity to the sun. It is also important to wear a daily sunscreen every morning and reapply during the day.
3. DOES THIS PRODUCT QUALIFY FOR CLEAN AT SEPHORA?
Yes, our Squalane + Retinol Night Serum is part of the Clean at Sephora collection. This serum is best for those concerned with signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. It can be used both as a preventative and corrective treatment, but it should not be used while pregnant.
4. HOW CAN I COMBINE WITH OTHER BIOSSANCE SERUMS?
We recommend using Squalane + Retinol Night Serum in the evening and choosing a day serum, like our Squalane + Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum or Squalane + Copper Peptide Serum. Be sure to start using a small, pea size quantity of retinol when starting out, even alternating between the nights used. Since our retinol is a powerful serum, we don't recommend layering with other treatment products, but encourage you to layer with other moisturizers and oils.
5. WHY DOES THIS INCLUDE BOTH RETINOL AND RETINAL?
Retinol and retinal work together to increase performance and minimize irritation of the skin for powerful, yet gentle results.
Apply pea-size amount to clean, dry skin at night.
Start by using 2x per week and gradually increase.
Apply sunscreen the following morning after use.
Please Note: Retinoids are not recommended for those pregnant or nursing; always consult a physician before using new products.

Total Game changer for sensitive skin or just starting out!
If you have “sensitive” skin and have been struggling to integrate retinol into your routine because you can’t find the right strength, I bet this is for you. I’ve tried integrating retinol into my skin routine for YEARS with no success until now. A friend recommended to me Biossance retinol because the % is lower. I didn’t know but finding the right strength for your skin is important and starting out low is the best but most people unfortunately jump right in with a high strength. After a few years of using this I’m finally ready to increase my strength. I’ve made this recommendation to several people who are just starting out in their skincare routine, claim to have sensitive skin, or whatever it just hasn’t been working and this brand has been a total game changer!

Amazing buttttt
This is my favorite retinol that I have tried. I’m convinced using all biossance products has been a game changer for my skin. I’m really only adding a review because I’ve seen so many of the same and hoping the company will do something about it. The bottle is extremely wasteful !!!! I know retinols are usually packaged in glass and dark color I believe it has something to do with preserving the good stuff in it but I hope they figure out some way to help us all get the most product out of this bottle!!! Please change SOMETHING !

Wasn't for me
It smelled ok liked the texture but I was allergic to something in it so I couldn't reap the benifits of this particular product

A must have!
This was a great product for my skin! I had acne growing up and have had issues with sensitivity as I got older. This was a very rejuvenating feeling product and after a few weeks of use I was glowing! Love it!

Amazing serum, bad packaging
I love the serum, but the packaging is sooo bad. The pump will stop working when there is more than a half product left in the container. The previous packaging with airless pump was so much better

Great for beginners!!
This is one of the most effective, yet gentle retinols I’ve used. Unlike others, it doesn’t dry my skin out or make me purge for weeks. This stuff is amazing!!

LOVE the product; Hate the packaging
I absolutely love this product. It works fast, gives my skin a vibrant lift, and lacks the irritation other straight-retinol products produce. I'm especially a fan of the combo of retinol and retinal, and the other ingredients obviously assist in helping my skin respond to retinol/retinal. However! The packaging is a huge downside, especially considering the cost. Easily half of the product is hard to get out of the bottle both because of the shape of the bottle and the use of the unnecessary pump (instructions clearly indicate how much to use; the pump isn't needed). And honestly, I would be just as happy to receive this in a basic plastic tube and save on packaging that is clearly intended to convey a certain luxury, but actually just makes it more expensive and harder to use. I may or may not order again. Will try to find another similar formula in better packaging and hopefully (fingers crossed!) in the mean time, Biossance decides to update the packaging so I can come back to their product.

Perfect for low dose retinol users
I really like this product as a daily or near daily retinol. I like that the dosage is low so I can use it regularly, or not. As a new mom I don’t always have time to have a perfect skincare routine, so the flexibility of the low dosage is great for me. Also it doesn’t have a strong scent which is nice

Love Product. Hate the bottle
Same sentiments as everyone else on here. The bottle sucks & is wasteful. The 'straw' or whatever is inside broke so I ended up having to keep this on its side and pound it into my palm for the last half of the bottle. Additionally the bottle is designed so that you cannot scoop the remainder out with a finger. Who knows how much I threw away. Aside from that the product that you Can use is GOOD. It's creamy. Never burned my skin. Moisturizing. Little to faint smell. I did end up buying again in-spite of the above cons.
