Effective but a bit harsh
Have only begun using this recently, 1x per week. It’s a bit harsh on my skin and only just within tolerance. I’d recommend a more gentle entry point if you have sensitive skin.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for sharing your early experience with the Dynamic Skin Retinol. It’s great to hear you’ve started slowly with once-a-week use—that’s a smart approach, especially if your skin is feeling a bit sensitive to it. You’re absolutely right—this is a potent formula, and for anyone with more reactive or sensitive skin, it can take a little time to build up tolerance. One helpful tip is to “buffer” the retinol by mixing a small amount with your moisturiser before applying. This softens the delivery and makes it gentler on the skin, while still allowing you to benefit from the retinol over time.
As your skin adjusts, you may find you're able to increase frequency gradually—but always at your skin’s pace. If you'd like any help adjusting your routine to get the best results with less irritation, we’re here to help.
Thanks again for your feedback—it’s really helpful for others navigating their retinol journey!
