“Retinol Serum Double Retinol Dear Serum by Dearskin Retinaldehide 0.1% plus Pure Retinol 0.5% Anti-Aging Powerful Anti-Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Serum”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinol.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
ExfoliationRetinolWorks well
“✓ OUR UNIQUE FORMULA WITH THE TWO MOST POWERFUL OVER-THE-COUNTER RETINOIDS AND PLANT EXTRACTS HELP TO EXFOLIATE DEAD CELLS FROM YOUR SKIN AND STIMULATE NEW BLOOD VESSELS IN THE SKIN.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: retinol.
MoisturizingHyaluronic acid, Cassia angustifolia seed polysaccharide + 7 moreWorks
“IT ALSO CONTAINS HYALURONIC ACID TO HELP MOISTURIZE THE SKIN”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Retinol, Camellia sinensis extract + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (retinol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - camellia sinensis extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · RetinolWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: retinol.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-blemishSide benefit · RetinolWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: retinol. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

Ingredient callouts
- this product contains an effective form of Retinoids (vitamin A): retinol 1.70% - 2.50%. Retinoids are potent multitasking actives. They work to improve and prevent early signs of aging, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots and post-acne marks), and prevent inflamed blemishes and clogged pores. The downside of Retinoids is that they can be irritating. If you are not already using a Retinoid in your routine, it is best to start slowly and apply the Retinoid product only a few times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily.
- Humectants (glycerin 2.20% - 3.30% and hyaluronic acid 0.00% (declared)). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
