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

I am an old school connoisseur of Retinoids, been using them for over 15 yrs. I have tried all forms and strengths from countless different companies claiming to be "the next big breakthrough in anti-aging technology", promising to make all my wrinkles and fine lines vanish and I'll live happily ever after. Guess what?, that's never gonna happen, no matter what you use, nothing will ever erase it all and make us look 20 again, ladies. I'm sorry. But, there is hope in helping soften those visible signs of aging and helping us prevent further damage to our skin, maybe even stopping the clock for just a bit. I came across Naturium and started doing some research, I was very impressed. Made w fermented oligopeptide, active noisome complex and peridot mineral extract it's a gel-serum emulsion that helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, visually smooths uneven tone and texture and helps brighten and firm the look of skin. This next gen potent Retinaldehyde cream is 0.15% and directly converts to Retinoic acid in just one step, instead of two steps w Retinol. Lightweight and doesn't leave your skin feeling dry. I cannot overstate how pleased I am w the results in just a little over a wk, I can see a difference in my laugh lines. Most Retinoid serums and creams come in 1 oz bottles, giving us very little bang for our buck, but this gem gives us a whooping 1.7 oz of that yellow goodness that, all of us over 30 yrs of age, crave. Such a great buy and well worth every single penny, a little does a long way, one or two pumps will do your entire face and neck. This serum is a must have in your nightly routine. Cruelty free, Paraben free, Vegan, Gluten free, Fragrance free and Dermatologist tested makes this a quality product that you will love.

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. ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

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 just used this last night. I was hesitant due to the strength of it but I was very pleasantly surprised at how well my skin took to it. I will definitely be using it again.

Finally, a retinol product that works without turning my face into a peeling science experiment. My texture is noticeably smoother and my skin did not freak out once. No redness, no irritation, just quiet improvement like a skincare ninja. Retinaldehyde for the win.Pro tip: There are multiple strengths, so start with the lowest and titrate up with each tube. Your skin will thank you for easing into greatness.
