Review: Best formula I’ve used - I was skeptical to try another serum. A friend of mine recommended this and her skin always looks so clear, healthy, soft and vibrant. I have been using it consistently for 2 weeks and 2 friends have mentioned how amazing my skin looks and a stranger told me she needed to know what I use. Highly recommend!!
Review: So many compliments! - Open Formula's Retinoid 5% Serum was a terrific find. I searched for a strong retinoid, and since their reviews were glowing I decided to jump in. Everyone has been noticing a change in my skin since a week after trying it! I saw less wrinkles, and my skin glows, but I thought it was just user bias lol. The retinoid doesn't irritate my skin, even though it's a stronger product than retinol, and its nice fragrance is so light it's hard to notice. I'm so delighted to find the whole package in Open Formula. This is definitely inexpensive for the value you get. Nice sized bottle, and it'll last a long time. Makes a great gift, too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good and gentle
*by T***5 on July 1, 2024*

Very good product, gentle on the skin, I have been using retinol 5% for a while and this one is way less irritating than others. I am just uncertain about the concentration, on Amazon it says 5% but then on the bootle it says 0,5%. I am a bit septic and I hope it is really 5%.
