Retrinal 0.1% Intensive Multi-Corrective Cream
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Avène Retrinal 0.1% Intensive Multi-Corrective Cream is a moisturizing retinoid that feels luxurious on the skin, according to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sarah Sheu. She notes it compares favorably to pricier options like Skin Better, but warns that starting at the 0.1% strength can cause peeling if overused. At $68 for 30 ml, she would repurchase it.
