Important — claims we have removed
The title said "Anti-Aging" and the listing said this stick improves skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and uses Korean skincare technology for high-quality results. All of that has been taken out. This is a cosmetic moisturiser, not a medicine, and it does not remove wrinkles or change skin elasticity.
The retinol strength is not stated. The supplier gives no percentage, which is the only figure that tells you anything. We cannot verify how much retinol is in it, or whether there is any.
Safety — retinol needs care
Do not use retinol if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding. Speak to a doctor first.
Retinol makes skin more sensitive to sunlight. Use sun protection every day while using it, and prefer applying it at night. Peeling, redness, dryness and stinging are common, especially at first — start with twice a week and build up slowly.
Patch test and wait 24 hours before first use. Avoid the eye area, the corners of the nose and the lips. Do not use on broken, sunburned or irritated skin. Do not combine with acids, scrubs or other retinoids. Stop if your skin becomes sore or swollen. Keep out of reach of children.
