StratiaNight Shift Retinol Cream – Age-Defying Face Moisturizer for Smooth, Radiant Skin, Hydrating & Gentle Lotion for All Skin Types, 1.7 Fl Oz

I ordered this after watching Dr. Sam (dermatologist and you all know her) on YouTube. Oh my goodness. This is relatively strong which has not been true of any other over-the-counter retinol product that I have tried which I think makes it an excellent product. I learned that I need to use a water cream under it so that it doesn't cause shedding. I truly recommend this product. It works.

Great

A retinol that doesn’t irritate my skin!! Background info: I have sensitive dry skin. I’ve been using it twice a week for about a month, the day after my peel. I wouldn’t do it more frequently if you just start using retinol. I tried a different one before and it made me peel. I will up the usage to 3x/week now and see where it goes. I don’t think I’m going to have a problem. If you want to start a retinol regiment, definitely try Stratia. Always remember to start slow. 1 pump is enough for the entire face and 1/2 pump is enough for the neck. It may seem not much, but it is enough.

Gentle but didn't see much of a difference.

Comfortable retinoid that you can use every night without irritation. And I can see the difference with smoother, more even appearing skin.

Time will tell if it works.

I heard rave reviews about the entire Stratia line. I was running low on my other skincare products and decided to go all in and buy some Stratia. I like how it feels when I’m applying it. But my face has never gotten so oily, as the day goes on, as it does now. I definitely won’t be replacing these products when I’m out.

I have used many iterations of retinol. I've had some that irritate my skin. Some that don't absorb. And some that just don't do anything. This retinol is mild but strong in results. Doesn't have a weird smell. And fits perfectly into my night time routine. If you have had issues with retinol or you want to switch it up, give this a try. It really is a great product.
