Retinol face serum, 1%

The 1% retinol concentration is the headline here, aimed at refining the look of skin texture on the face and neck.

Niacinamide, aloe vera and vitamin E add a hydrating side to the formula, rather than leaving retinol to do all the talking.

The 120 ml bottle is notably large for a face serum, which may suit a routine you plan to keep using.

What matters most

This is a fragrance-free retinol serum with a mix of ingredients intended to support smoother-looking skin and a more even-looking tone. The formula also includes witch hazel, jojoba oil, green tea and propolis. It’s described as lightweight and fast-absorbing, so it should fit more easily into a routine where you apply moisturiser or makeup afterwards.

The 1% concentration is worth weighing carefully. Retinol can be irritating, particularly for someone new to it, and the product description’s “gentle” positioning doesn’t guarantee how your skin will respond. Keep in mind that the listing gives no exact application schedule, start cautiously and follow the instructions on the packaging. It also doesn’t provide details about the amount to apply.

The large bottle may be practical if you use serum consistently, but shoppers who prefer a smaller format or want to try retinol before committing to a larger quantity may favour a smaller product instead. The packaging is described as air-restrictive to help maintain freshness and effectiveness over time, though no further packaging details are given.

How to use it

The serum is presented for the face and neck, with evening routines highlighted and day or night use also mentioned. If you’re adding it to a routine, think about where it fits alongside your usual moisturiser, the product is described as layering well under moisturiser and makeup. The description doesn’t set out a specific frequency, so avoid treating “daily” as a required schedule just because the bottle is large.

If you’re new to retinol, introduce it cautiously rather than changing several parts of your skincare routine at once. That makes it easier to notice whether the formula suits you. Based on the product details provided, it’s fragrance-free and intended for most skin types, but that wording isn’t a promise that every skin type will tolerate it.

Practical tips

Picture applying a serum before moisturiser as part of an evening routine: its lightweight, fast-absorbing format is meant to layer without adding a heavy-feeling step. If you wear makeup, the listing also says it can sit underneath it. These are useful claims for someone who wants a treatment step that doesn’t replace their usual moisturiser.

Compared with a basic hydrating serum, this one makes retinol the defining ingredient and adds a more treatment-focused angle. Compared with choosing a less concentrated or smaller-format retinol product, the 1% strength and 120 ml size may feel like a bigger commitment. Those details are reasons to consider your familiarity with retinol and how much product you actually want, not proof of a particular result.

Three specific questions

Is it scented? The product is described as fragrance-free, with no added fragrance.

Can it be used on the neck? Yes. The stated intended areas are the face and neck.

Does it include moisturising ingredients? The formula lists niacinamide, aloe vera and vitamin E, alongside jojoba oil and other plant extracts.

In your case

Puede interesarte si you want a fragrance-free retinol serum for both face and neck, and prefer a larger bottle with niacinamide, aloe vera and vitamin E in the formula. No te encajará si you’d rather start with a smaller amount, need a stated application schedule, or want a product with detailed guidance on how much to use. The main decision is whether the 1% retinol and 120 ml format suit your routine, the listing doesn’t provide enough detail to remove that judgement call.
