TL;DR — Reddit consensus
Proven gateway retinoid that users stick with for months before upgrading to tretinoin. Some report mixed feelings on anti-aging results alone.
Amazon vs Reddit
Amazon loves it. Reddit isn't sold.
On Amazon: ★4.7 from 1,409 reviews — that's roughly 92% positive.
On Reddit: 49% of 201 redditors recommend it.
The gap of 42 points is unusual and worth reading the cons before you buy.
