Shereene Idriss reviews affordable retinol products, including a 0.2% retinal emulsion and 0.1% retinol. She discusses color, price, and whether each works better for eyes or full face.
0.2% retinal.
0.1% retinol.
$14 (spoken as '14 bucks').
$17 (spoken as 'retailing for 17 bucks').
Then we have the ordinaries. 0.2% retinal emulsion. I'll show you guys over here. Oh, that was a very tiny little squirt. But it's much yellower than the cocoa kind. You do. Look, John, this one, you use it 14 bucks. No. Ha. But it's not for the eye area, because at 0.2%, retinal is strong. This is for the more intermediate to advanced. And last, for the eyes, retinol at 0.1%. This is by some, by me, retailing for 17 bucks. Safe enough to use around the eyes, gentler than the ordinary. And if you are not able to tolerate the ordinary, but you do not want to use the cocoa kind, because you are a step ahead, you could use this technically all over your face.
