My new bestie. My skin looks so much better after introducing this into my routine

My skin is very sensitive so I was hesitant to try Retinol. I have been pleasantly surprised as my skin had been loving this serum! I highly recommend paring this with the Nicidemide and Rasberry leaf extract cream.

C

I have been using Fundamentals Retinol for a few months now and honestly, I love it. I do have skin that has a tendency to be sensitive and break out. When I started using retinol I was concerned that my skin might dry out, but it does a wonderful job and my skin feels amazing after using this. My skin looks more improved, and brighter and I do have fewer breakouts. I will definitely be pairing it with a few of the other products that Fundamentals has referred to me and can't wait to see what results this will bring me!

Paired it with the alpha arbutin serum and it removed all my dark marks. It’s a must have. Something I will keep repurchasing!
