Retinol 1% in Squalane

I've been using this for a few weeks now, and the squalane base makes it much less irritating than other retinols I've tried. My fine lines around the eyes are definitely starting to soften, which was my main goal.

The squalane base makes this 1% retinol serum glide on without any greasy feel, and my fine lines around the eyes look noticeably softer. It's strong though, so I started with every other night and that was the right call.

My skin feels smoother after just two weeks of using this, and the squalane base keeps it from being too drying. The 1% strength is potent, so I definitely recommend starting slow.
