Cos De BAHARetinol & Tranexamic Acid Radiance Boost Facial Serum: Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone, with Hydrating Aloe & Nourishing Botanicals, 1 Fl Oz (30ml)

Good for my sensitive skin and smooth up my wrinkles.

I use it to reduce my hyperpigmentation. I like the texture. It is fast absorbing.

Pros: nice texture (looser cream. Like snail cream, but less gooey, more creamy). Ingredient list is great (Retinol, bakuchiol & tranexamic acid are all in the correct concentrations to be effective).Cons: to me, it smells like Windex, right out of the bottle. It also stings slightly right on application (I assume this will vary greatly by the user, and how used to retinol their skin is or isn’t). I think light purging is also possible when beginning to use this product, if you haven’t used a retinol before.Efficacy: TBD! Prior to purchasing this, I was (and still am) using the Cos de Baha 5% TxA serum, and Derma Factory’s retinal/bakuchiol cream). None of these ingredients are new-new to me: I like the combo in theory. My skin agrees with TxA & retinal, so we’ll see how this combo goes.Overall not a bad beginner retinol, but I am wondering if the smell is normal, or if I got tricked on Amazon 🤷🏻‍♀️
