Alastin Renewal Retinol is an excellent choice for retinol beginners and those with sensitive skin. This gentle retinol serum effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture while remaining soothing and non-irritating. Its blend of retinol, niacinamide, and coenzyme Q10 helps exfoliate, calm, and energize skin for a smoother, revitalized appearance.
What sets this retinol apart is its calming formula and slow release retinol, ideal for sensitive skin types.
