Micro-Dose Retinol Serums

This Retinol Serum for All Skin Types Has a "Daily-Strength Micro-Dose"

People love the benefits of retinol but not the redness, flakiness, dryness and irritation that it sometimes causes during an adjustment period, and it can be tough to find a retinol serum for all skin types. Kiehl's Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum with Ceramides and Peptide is one option that's suited to all skin types, including sensitive skin and it's beneficial for evening out the skin's tone, firming and visibly reducing wrinkles. The product is said to deliver "daily-strength micro-dose" in a way that promotes cell turnover and skin barrier strengthening.

Although people are aware of the power and potency of active ingredients, it can be easy to overuse these ingredients and experience unpleasant side effects as a result. Rather than overdoing it with active ingredients, some skincare consumers are now "microdosing" in order to achieve desired results quickly and effectively, without irritation.
