Transcript
Hey guys, it's W-U-W-T-I. Today I want to talk to you all about The Ordinary's retinal serum. This is retinal 0.5% in squalene. I typically use a retinal serum once to twice a week at night. Retinal can kind of be sensitive on different people's faces, so in my particular case I like to use it at night. And then of course during the day I always use sunscreen to protect my face even more. Retinal is really great because it does help with sunspots, with fine lines. Of course, as we get older as women, it's really great to incorporate in our skincare routine. I'll show you what the consistency is like. The consistency is oil-based. You can see, as you see it up close, it's very very soft and it goes into the skin just like this, very softly. I apply it about an hour before bed, just so it gets absorbed into my skin. I think this is a great product, but that's just my point of view.
