Makes my skin more sensitive

Have been using this for a month I’m not sure what difference it is making to be honest but I’ll continue to use it. The only problem I have is that it’s been making my skin more sensitive.

Holy Grail Skincare Product

Everyone skin is different, however my skin loves this product. I've been looking up skin care, as I just turned 32, and I've heard that retinol was the key. So when I saw gentle retinol, as a beginner to skincare I gravitated towards this product--especially after reading the reviews. Instantly under my eyes brightened and smoothened. I was having issues with dullness and puffiness under my eye, and the product fixed it on the first use. My face overall, is more smooth. I now have to try their other products.

It's been doing wonders for my skin, I was afraid at first since its always scary introducing a new product to your skin, but I haven't had any large breakouts due to the retinol cream.

Great beginner retinol. Simple to add into your night time routine and a little goes a long way so you won’t be burning through it.

Great to use!

I’ve been using the Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream for a while now, and it’s become a staple in my skincare routine — especially if you’re new to retinol or have sensitive skin. The formula strikes a great balance: it’s strong enough to encourage skin renewal and smooth texture, without the harsh dryness or irritation that can come with traditional retinol creams. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, so it layers well under moisturizer or makeup without leaving any greasiness or heavy residue. It’s ideal for evening use, allowing skin to rejuvenate overnight while staying hydrated. Over time, I’ve noticed my skin looks more even and smoother, and fine lines seem less noticeable. If you want the benefits of retinol — smoother skin, softer texture, potential fade of uneven tone — but don’t want the “dry, tight, red” side-effects, this one is a winner. Highly recommend it as a gentle entry into retinol skincare.

Bought this again after trying other brands

I was curious about The Ordinary’s retinol (the one in a glass bottle with a dropper) so I briefly switched to that. The texture was greasy and took too long to sink in. This one is just as affordable and effective but feels like a regular moisturizer. I’m sticking with this

I've tried several comparable retinol products, and I like this one the best. For a decent price, you get a retinol that feels like it's actually working, yet gentle enough to use easily. Definitely keep away from eyes and sensitive parts of face, but very gentle otherwise. The smell is very strong, but doesn't last. Absorbs great.

This retinol cream is gentle and works well on my skin. It does not irritate and feels light. I already see smoother texture. The price is great too.

Great For Sensitive Skin

I add half of this to my Oil of Olay Super Serum Lotion and it helps with firming. It doesn’t add color or any odor. My skin has never looked better or firmer!

Getting my skin wedding-ready!

I switched to Good Molecules from another brand and chose the gentle retinol cream to get my skin in shape for my wedding. A couple months in, I've had no skin purging and I'm seeing sun spots on my cheeks clearing up. It's gentle enough to use near my eyes, and my skin is looking glowy for the big day!

Truly Gentle & 100% effective

I have tried RX trentinoin, I've tried other OTC retinols and this is finally the one I can actually use more than once a month!! Before this product everything was so strong I would be burned for 4 to 6 weeks before applying a second time. I have been able to use this once a week and last week I used it twice (sunday/wednesday) without causing a retinol burn. My skin is super smooth now, the texture feels so much better than before I started. I'm 43, don't wear make up, have rosecea and sensitive skin.

Clear & Soft

Since I've obtained my Good Molecules and began use; there has been changes! Yaaassss! As I battle these 50's, tools for anti-aging are imperative!! They are essential-period! My skin texture has improved from the hair removal cream that caused dark spots and irritation. So, sew glad I made the purchase and gave this product a try! Good Skin. Good Glow. Good Molecules!
