Retinol 2 Serum

This high performing retinoid utilizes mandelic 2% and lactic acid, making it a beautiful option to keep acne at bay while also providing anti-aging benefits of retinoid. This is for a more experienced retinol user. The texture will be like a thin serum compared to Retinol 1's creamy texture.
