Good Molecule gentle retinol cream

GOOD MOLECULES * Gentle Retinol Cream * $8 (30 ml / 1 fl oz)

Favorite ingredients: Obviously the 0.1% retinol, grapeseed oil and the antioxidant rich bakuchiol, which technically is a plant-based alternative to retinol, but the reason why this cream does not irritate my skin.

Pro: The ruling #1 factor is that it has yet to irritate my skin. The creaminess glides on easily and it’s odor free.

Con: Within the last 3 months I’ve used it, nothing. Maybe if it could come in a bigger tube?

Worth the price? Absolutely, it’s unbeatable really. If you’re on a very tight budget, but want to include retinol in your skincare routine, Good Molecules is it.

Repurchase?: Yes, I have done so 4 times now.
