Retrinal 0.05% Multi-Corrective Cream
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Avène Retrinal 0.05% Multi-Corrective Cream is a moisturizing retinoid that board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sarah Sheu finds comparable to pricier options, calling it "moisturizing all by itself." She still recommends sandwiching it with extra moisturizer to avoid irritation, noting she peeled when accidentally using the 0.1% strength. She would repurchase this product.
