great retinol alternative Revivinol comes in a 2 oz pump bottle for targeted application. The serum should be applied as the first step after cleansing, 1-2 times daily. I love that I don't have to only use this at night and avoid the sun. It is a water-like gel that is slick when applying but quickly absorbs into skin. I've been using this for about a month now and I haven't experienced any dryness, flaking, peeling, or irritation. What I have noticed is a reduction in my fine lines, smaller pores, better skin tone, more hydrated skin with a subtleness and firmness, and even less blemishes in my breakout zone. If you've always wanted to try retinol but were worried about the side effects or had a bad experience with it in the past, then this is a great alternative to try out. Thank you @revivserums for gifting me this product in exchange for my honest review.
