My sensitive skin tolerates the formula well. It lasts a good amount of time and applies like a very soft balm. I’ve been worried about incorporating retinols because of my skin’s reactivity, but I’ve had great success with this formula.
So much success that I’m terrified I’ll run out before the next restock.
I was recommended Retivance by my dermatologist after my very sensitive skin couldn’t handle harsher prescription retinols. I absolutely love the texture and how smooth it goes on, and it’s helped so much with the fine lines around my eyes. It’s been out of stock recently, I really hope they aren’t discontinuing this product because I’d be heartbroken, I haven’t found anything else like it!
I was terrified, I’ve never used retinol. Simply put, I have sensitive and reactive skin, one bad run in with highly touted acids and I’ve played it safe since. Anyway, my esthetician handed me this product and recommended I give it a try. The price gave me pause, but you only live once right?
It’s a silky texture, almost powdery when applied. Please make sure you’re using your hydrating moisturizer favs with this one. I tried a thinner moisturizer with it, had very light dryness in certain areas (temples). With that one I have to stack, a little moisturizer, then Retivance, then finish with moisturizer. With a thicker one, no issue at all with dryness. I have noticed that I don't have any hormonal skin acne since using this product. A major win!
This is one of the few products that I replenish. It really is the best.
Amazing product! Innovative formula, high tech medical grade ingredients. Superb results. Been using this for years and love it.
