Best Budget Retinols 2023 Part 1 #shorts

The best budget friendly retinols of 2023 by a board certified dermatologist who not only uses these retinols but also recommends them to her patients. It was the year of ELF cosmetics. This is their youth boosting advanced night retinoid serum. And the reason why this is on the list is because it's not a straight up pure retinol. It is a combination of granactive retinoid, also known as hydroxypenicoline retinoate plus a retinal. Why is that exciting? Because granactive retinoid is the ester form of retinoic acid which is the active form of retinol that is your prescription. So it is supposed to work as equivalently as a prescription minus the irritation. Now I say that and I believe that with a grain of salt because nothing's ever going to be as good as the real deal, which is the prescription. But if you're sensitive and you've been scared of the retinol game, this one can be an interesting one to try. Just be aware though, there is retinal in it.
