NaturiumRetinaldehyde Cream Serum 0.05%, Advanced Anti-Aging & Smoothing Face & Skin Care, 1.7 oz

After years of trying different retinol products (and giving up because of irritation), I am so impressed with Naturium’s Retinaldehyde Cream Serum.The 0.05% strength feels potent but balanced — I saw smoother, brighter skin within a few weeks, with absolutely no flaking, redness, or sensitivity. The formula is lightweight, creamy, and layers perfectly under moisturizer.I also love the clean, no-nonsense ingredient list: no unnecessary fragrance or irritants, and it feels thoughtful and gentle even for sensitive skin.If you’ve struggled with harsher retinoids or are new to retinaldehyde, this serum is an incredible place to start. I’m blown away by how much healthier and more radiant my skin looks — and no downtime needed!

I love this brand! I'm on their retinol serum, have been using retinol for about a year now. I've been workin my way up and needed something stronger, so got the 5%So glad I did. It's not drying at all. There is no smell, the serum is hydrating and easy to spread. You have to use a hydrating serum after bc you'll get more hydration along with your moisturizer. I use a ceramide serum the cocokind one or my purito unscented centella serum or my panthenol one by some by mi- but I used my niacinamide serum with it one night and had the most glowing skin the next day! I was so hydrated and plumped. It comes in 1.7oz nice pump bottle. Which for the price is a steal for retinalhyde. I started using it 3x a week and on the nights I don't , I use their retinol serum and/or their glycolic serum, which is another amazing product for the price and the amount you get! Once I'm done with the 5 percent I'll get the 10 percent. But I see people complaining about drying and the retinol uglies. Unfortunately people will go through that even when they use it right, but that's what it does. It burns sometimes too. You have to keep using it maybe use it less or do the sandwich method. But it will eventually go away. I was lucky I only got red and a little burning sensation when I first started. Just use a really hydrating serum and moisturizer! It'll be worth it! This brand is amazing. We need more brands like this. With good products and ingredients and at an affordable price. And that actually do what they say the product will do. I trust this brand which says alot for me! Some of these brands overprice their products. I can see an active like retinol being more money than a HA serum or ceramide serum but people charging over 50 bucks for a hydrating serum is ridiculous and even then the product is not good. And then even their actives are 80 or 100 bucks, it's sometimes ridiculous 🙄 especially when the product isn't great and doesn't do what it says it will- I can go on but I'll digress. I've tried many skincare products and companies and you don't need to spend a lot to see results. I love a good serum and moisturizer and do splurge every now and then but now I do it wisely and buy from companies that are worthy and just wait for a good sale on here😉 my Italian mother taught me a few things! Lol. Anyways - again I only write product reviews if it's worth the money and a great product. I've not been using this long enough to say if it worked on certain issues have but so far it's amazing and if it's anything like their serum and glycolic acid then I'm sure it'll be worth it. ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Amazing! Have been using this and the overnight intense face moisturizer. Everyone compliments my skin! I do not wear make up. I use this for any type of uneven skin tone/ wrinkles and anti aging. I love it! My skin looks very bright. Family has asked me what i use. It’s been about a month of use. I do wear sunscreen daily.

Unfortunately, my skin can not handle this strength :( The ingredient profile is beautiful, non greasy, absorbs quickly, and does give temporary hydration. I would not use this unless you have worked your way up retinol/reti-a/tret products in the past. For my dry-sensitive skin I apply several layers of essense-serum-moisturizer, aquaphor around my eyes let it sit for 10 min than go in with 2 pumps of this and sadly every morning I wake up with red raw dry skin :( I can not put makeup on the next day (I need color corrector under my eyes or I look sleep deprived) and it takes 3 days of thick creams to calm my skin down. The product itself is very good, I just don't see myself ever being able to use it, at least not anytime soon.

I cannot tolerate Tretinoin at any concentration - I have tried to use several different concentrations and have been left with damaged and dry skin which doesn't fix itself. I had given up on retinoids and stuck to a very low concentration retinol until I had a bout of skin congestion and needed something stronger to help my skin a bit. I have used this every day since I bought it about 18 days back and it has made a huge difference to my skin. Cleared the clogged pores a lot, reduced the breakouts I was having on my forehead and made my skin texture feel a lot better than before. This is the only thing stronger than a retinol that I have been able to use everyday without irritation. I had a mild skin sensitivity the first week I was using it but that didn't last very long. I will report back with my results after having used it for longer.UPDATE as of Jan 2024I have almost used this entire tube up and it has significantly cleared my clogged pores. My skin surface is smoother to the touch and I am experiencing reduced breakouts with this product. Just a disclaimer, I did experience a purge when I first started using this product. I was breaking out in the same few parts of my face over and over again for a couple of months. But it was worth it because my skin adjusted after that. I just ordered the 0.1% concentration to see if I notice a difference in my fine lines but I will continue to use this product in the future.
