This serum contain 0.2% retinol, which is one of the most effective ingredient for anti-wrinkles. I really cannot find any retinol product at lower price.
However, 0.2% is a little bit high and irritating. Some people may need a week or two to accustom to it.
I don't know why they are not very popular in countdown. Does anybody have better serum choice?
Thanks, bigcheese!
Anyone know how this compares to The Ordinary's retinol products? https://www.farmers.co.nz/beauty/boutique-brands/the-ordinar…
No idea - but it contains exactly the same 0.2% retinol at a significantly cheaper price.
I would say branding plays a very big part in the price difference.
Thank you, draf and snowflake! I'm confused by these advertising words.
This is the first time I buy a retinol product. I really want to know whether The Ordinary's retinol product work. The product page said it should be used "after water-based serums but before heavier treatments". So it is different from a serum. We really need a chemist to explain the difference.
If The Ordinary's retinol product work, that would be a much better choice.
For differin and tretinoin, a few documents show that they should not be added in skincare products and medicine only
This is available at The Warehouse for $46 so you could try a pricebeat and get another 10% off Countdown's price (making it $29.70). May be hard as they are doing a buy one get one half price offer.
However, if the pricebeat fails and you use it a lot you could buy two for $69 with the offer and then get another $5 off $50 in the App.
Makes it $64 for two.
