Mini Regenerist Retinol24 +Peptide Night Moisturizer : Great starter and maintenance retinol!

I received this as a free trial from PINCHme, this does not effect my honest review.

Wow! I've used a few retinol products in the past and they've all been quite abrasive and drying. This is the opposite, it's genius to have a moisturizer with the retinol treatment. In just a month I've noticed smoother skin, healing of breakouts, and even lessened appearance of crows feet. Now the first couple weeks did cause some purging which resulted in some ugly acne (I've been fighting cystic acne for over 10 yrs now so this was expected). For this reason I used 2x a week in the beginning and then moved to 3x (with intense hydrating mask nights in between). The results were extremely noticeable the morning after I used this product, each time my skin seemed softer and firmer. I do think it worked a bit slower than some other retinol treatments I've tried, but I am okay with that as it didn't come with negative results those stronger types often do (eg. Over drying/flaking/irritation). I will definitely be repurchasing and would like to try other products from this line. I would recommend to anyone who is using retinol for the first time, or who just wants to get results with minimal added effort to your routine.
