I really really like this product. It goes on heavy like an ointment but after 20 minutes or so it soaks in really well. It's a great retinoid for the nights I exfoliate (which I wouldn't recommend for anyone starting their retinoid journey, could inflame your skin barrier if it's not used to it). I like how it feels after it soaks in and is really inexpensive.
I will start by saying I agree and understand every review saying that this smells gross, very thick, and just unpleasant to use. It's a pomade and not gel based. It's oily, sticky, and not pleasant to smell or apply on the skin. However, it works really well and does everything it promises. On my skin, it fades pigment, regulates oil, increases water content. My skin overall just looks stronger, healthier, plumper, and brighter.

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
