I put it in in the morning and night. Review: Excellent retinol serum - same quality as pricier brands - I'm a 67-year-old woman who's always had great skin and keep my routine simple: lotion cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and retinol serum two or three times a week at night. I was using a popular drugstore brand. When I ran out, I compared ingredients with this desertcart Basics version - they were identical. I decided to give it a try. My skin is touchably soft in the morning after using this product. Retinol in general has reduced age-related dark spots, and this formula works just as well as the pricier brand I was using. Great quality at a better price - no reason to pay more! ## Features - REFINING FACIAL SERUM: Formulated with essential ceramides, retinol and licorice root extract to help reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and pores - GENTLE ON SKIN: Free of fragrance and parabens, this retinol serum is gentle on the skin - FAST ABSORBING FORMULA: This lightweight face serum absorbs quickly to deliver active ingredients effectively - PORE MINIMIZING EFFECT: This pore minimizer serum helps refine pore appearance with regular application - EASY DAILY APPLICATION: Simply apply the skin serum evenly to your face daily - TRY IT: If you like CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum, we invite you to try desertcart Basics Refining Retinol Serum ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,359 in Our Brands ( See Top 100 in Our Brands ) #176 in Facial Serums | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,386 Reviews | ## Images ![Amazon Basics Retinol Serum for Face, Pore Minimizer, Fast Absorbing Formula, 1 Fluid Ounce, 1-Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vtlbfU4YL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this product cruelty free?** A: This product is not tested on animals. **Q: What is the percentage of retinol?** A: The percentage of retinol is not listed on the packaging. I assume it must be quite low as I have sensitive skin and it did not irritate at all. It is similar to the Cerave product which also does not list the retinol percentage. I hope this is helpful. **Q: Does this include niamacin?** A: Honestly, the print on the label is so light I can’t read it. I can tell you that I have super sensitive skin and lots of dark spots on my face from sun, and this has lightened them all. My skin looks much better! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great budget lotion. *by A***S on July 20, 2026* Been using this for awhile, it’s good. Makes my face feel really soft and hydrated. I put it in in the morning and night. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent retinol serum - same quality as pricier brands *by N***E on May 28, 2026* I'm a 67-year-old woman who's always had great skin and keep my routine simple: lotion cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and retinol serum two or three times a week at night. I was using a popular drugstore brand. When I ran out, I compared ingredients with this Amazon Basics version - they were identical. I decided to give it a try.

Great quality at a better price - no reason to pay more! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ No irritation *by J***. on May 7, 2026* I’ve been using this for 3 weeks now. I use it every other night because my face has had sensitivity to retinol in the past (rash/burning sensation). In the morning I wash it off and use a moisturizer and sunscreen if I’ll be outside, and so far no reaction. I am going to try to start using it every night. I don’t see a difference in wrinkles,but my face feels softer, and it seems to be smoothing out my complexion a bit. Probably too soon to tell. It has a nice feel to it, light weight and not greasy at all. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics Retinol Serum for Face, 1 Fluid Ounce, 1-Pack - Amazon Basics Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum, 1 Fluid Ounce, 1-Pack - Amazon Basics Brightening Vitamin C Serum, 1 Fluid Ounce, 1-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/538228121-amazon-basics-retinol-serum-for-face-pore-minimizer-fast-absorbing](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/538228121-amazon-basics-retinol-serum-for-face-pore-minimizer-fast-absorbing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
