I recieved this product from the brand + beautytap in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.I have very dry, easily irritated skin so I find that I can't use retinol too often because it accelerates said irritation. When I am testing a retinol, I use it once or twice a week for a few weeks to get a good litmus on what the irritation factor is. I did have some dryness and tightness after the second day so I switched to once a week. I use it two days in a row and the second day I have irritation. That won't affect my review however, because I have yet to find a retinol in ANY capacity that doesn't do that. I will say, the product felt really nice on application. It's veyr creamy and easy to smooth across my skin. It wasn't fragranced which is a huge plus. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it's a nice product but it didn't blow my mind.

The MDPen Radiant Retinol 1% Balancing Complex is a truly fantastic product. I am typically leery of using retinol products because they make my skin very sensitive to the sun and make my skin prone to burning. Retinol has also sometimes given my skin a tingling or burning sensation. The MDPen Radiant Retinol 1% Balancing Complex is very easy on the skin. It did not cause any adverse reactions, and there is nothing that I would change about it. The MDPen Radiant Retinol 1% Balancing Complex has a smooth and silky texture that glides onto your skin and leaves it feeling soft and hydrated. I don’t have many wrinkles to begin with, but I did notice that my skin looked more plump and supple than it did before I began using it. I would suggest using this product before bed vs during the day in order to avoid any sensitivity to the sun. Overall, I very much liked it and would recommend it!

The Retinol Balancing Complex containing 1% retinol, works like magic in my skin. Retinol is actually a form of vitamin A, provides anti-aging effects and helps treat acne. I apply Retinol cream at night and then I apply a moisturizer cream. Over time, I noticed a decrease in fine lines, giving a plump appearance to my skin. In fact, retinol helps increase collagen production. It also unclog pores and exfoliates skin. This is a great treatment to use two or three times on a weekly basis. It is definitely worth it's value. My skin looks and feels younger, adding Retinol to my skin routine provides sustainable long lasting results. You skin may need to adjust to the retinol treatment. You may start to apply retinol just once a week and go from there. Retinol 1% Balancing Complex benefits are beyond what I expected, this is a great product!
