Minimalist 0.2% Retinal Liposomal Cream

I love this, it’s potent and affordable, similar to the ordinary 0.2 retinal emulsion, works equally well. It’s good to have affordable potent retinaldehydes on the market.

I received this product almost empty. To the point when squeezing the tube two drops of product came out. How is there now quality control. I want a replacement or refund.

I have used the RetinOL products and this is the first time to try a RetinAL. This is strong and really does work. The RetinAL products are 11X's stronger and I believe it based on the use of this one. I do need to follow the instructions and use just one drop as I can feel it on the skin doing its work.The one very negative aspect and I do not know if this is unique to Minimalist is the color of the cream. It makes me look Jaundice (yellow/orange) and I worry about the color getting on the pillow. That is my only complaint, but it is a reason for me to look for another product. I have ordered another RetinAL product to see if it is strong but normal color.I do wish Amazon would allow or fix their search function to actually allow for a specific search. If looking for RetinAL they also give results for RetinOL: and they are completely different.Bottom-line is this is a very good product but a really bad color.

While I love the actual product. It is literally over half empty out of the box.

Great for the price works extremely well lightweight and you can feel it working leaving skin feeling soft. Don’t use every day

Review: Minimalist 0.2% Retinal Liposomal CreamHad to look up what liposomal means and its all god things. Apparently it's a man-made fat cell into which drugs or in this case Retinal is injected so that the product has a deeper penetration into the skin. I suppose that is all good because i'm starting to see this word used in a lot of beauty products. Anyways the product is quite "diluted" compared to my tretinoin. But seeing as I can't use tret every night, I supplement the off days with a retinol or retinal. I didn't experience any sensitivities or redness but those who are just starting, do so with caution and start off slow. The first few weeks can be rough and the skin has a tendency to breakout during a retinol purge.

Great cream, but I have to use it longer to get the results I am seeking. The formulation is great; I have no problem using this on my sensitive skin. Product has a pump applicator which I really appreciate. Lots of ingredients become ineffective once oxygen hits, so by using a pump it prevents oxygen from getting into the product and rendering it ineffective. The formulation is very clean and fragrance-free. This product is intended for night time on a clean dry face.

After opening and realizing nothing coming out - I realized it’s more than half empty. Disappointed!😔
