FRANKLYRetinol 0.3% Cream, 0.7 fl oz - Intensive Retinol | Night Cream | Retinol, Ceramides & Natural Ginseng | Anti-aging, Wrinkles Care, Reduces Congestion and hyperpigmentation | Korean Skin Care

I’ve been on the hunt for a high-quality retinol cream that balances effectiveness with gentleness, and this Frankly Retinol 0.3 Cream has been an absolute game-changer for my skincare routine. After using it consistently for several weeks, I can confidently say that it delivers noticeable results without excessive irritation.The cream has a lightweight yet nourishing texture, making it easy to spread evenly across the skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or heavy feel, which is a huge plus for anyone with combination or oily skin. Even as someone with more sensitive skin, I found that this formula didn’t cause excessive dryness or peeling when used as directed.Since incorporating this into my nighttime routine, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my skin’s texture and appearance. Within the first two weeks, my skin felt visibly softer and more refined, with a noticeable reduction in rough patches. Retinol is known for its anti-aging benefits, and while deep wrinkles take time to improve, I have already seen a plumping effect on fine lines around my eyes and mouth. As someone prone to occasional breakouts, this cream has helped reduce inflammation and fade post-acne marks faster than usual. My skin looks more radiant and even-toned, making it feel fresh and rejuvenated.I appreciate that this retinol cream includes ceramides and natural ginseng, which help soothe and strengthen the skin barrier. Many retinol products can be harsh, but the added ceramides help counteract irritation while keeping the skin hydrated. The 0.3% concentration is the perfect balance—it’s strong enough to be effective but not so intense that it causes major peeling or redness.For those new to retinol, I recommend starting slow. I began using this two to three times a week and gradually increased to every other night. I always follow up with a rich moisturizer to prevent dryness, and since retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, daily sunscreen is a must.This retinol cream has exceeded my expectations in terms of effectiveness and gentleness. It’s perfect for beginners or those looking to step up their anti-aging and skin-smoothing routine without irritation. The addition of skin-nourishing ingredients makes it a well-rounded product that delivers real results. If you’re looking for a high-performance retinol that won’t wreck your skin barrier, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

I have been Using retinol for years and my skin is very used to all different types of acids. The 0.3 cream is very good, efficient and a step up from most over the counter strengths. I had to not use this everyday to let my skin " rest" and peel . I could really see the difference of this higher strength, and even felt a little sore on the top of cheekbones when i did exfoliate the skin when it was peeling. My mistake was, one night i put it on a little lower than my jawline and it travelled to my neck and collarbone . For those of you that don't know that's a area of the skin that's thinner and much more sensitive than the face and i sure "burned " my skin there. Some people can tolerate retinol on neck but a lot of us can't. So put on a different cream on your neck before this treatment so even if you end up with some rubbing off on the neck it won't harm you.

Very nice product for a good skin tone

One of the gentlest retinol creams out there, especially for acne prone skin. But paid quite a bit for this, within a week of purchase it dropped nearly $5 in price. Would return and re-buy to get a better deal but can’t because Amazon wants me to drop it off at one of their return locations for them but I have a bad leg and can’t drive anywhere.

I used this product for about 2 weeks every night, after about 2 weeks my skin started itching & burning. I have discontinued using it.

this is such a good price for the same ingredient you find in WAY higher priced options. Wear at night under moisturizer for nice anti-aging effects!

I had been looking and researching good affordable Retinol. Adding and removing products from different brands. Somehow I kept going back to this one. I really wanted to pull the trigger on a product as I am in my mid 30’s and finally deciding to be more consistent with my skincare and overall health. Additionally, I have PCOS which leave hyperpigmentation and texture from ingrown hairs. After about 2 weeks this has been a bit of a game changer for me. My skin is smoother, clearer with what I can only describe as a “healthy glow”. I will keep purchasing this product unless by some horrific mistake, the formula is changed.If in doubt try it out. Buy the smaller size and you will discover how wonderful this is!

I honestly don’t think this is suitable to use on your face. I have been using retinol for years but was looking for a more affordable option. After one use I woke up and my skin was chapped and burned. Not only was my skin irritated it caused a cluster of break outs, and I haven’t had a pimple in years. I don’t have excessively sensitive skin, and this product demolished my face with one use. It’s been a week now and the burns have not lessened and the break outs just seem to be getting worse. DO NOT BUY. I would give zero stars if I could.
