This autumn, I finally decided to take my skincare seriously and introduce the ingredient everyone praises — retinol. Since it was my first experience, I didn’t want to go too high-end right away, so I chose the Neutrogena® Retinol Boost set — featuring the eye cream, serum, and night cream.
👁 Eye Cream (15 ml)
Comes in a small tube with a narrow nozzle — convenient and hygienic. The texture is light, almost balm-like, with a very faint scent that disappears quickly. It spreads easily, doesn’t weigh down the delicate skin around the eyes, and absorbs fast.
I use it only at night (not risking morning application yet). It gives a good dose of hydration, but I can’t say I’ve noticed a strong lifting or brightening effect — at least not yet. For now, I treat it as a preventive anti-aging product.
💧 Serum (30 ml)
The serum comes in a tube with a pump that dispenses just the right amount. It has a lightweight, creamy-fluid texture and a soft powdery scent that lingers briefly.
I use two pumps for my face and neck before bed. During the first few uses, I felt a gentle warmth after application — completely normal when introducing retinol — but my skin quickly adapted.
🌙 Night Cream (50 ml)
Packaged in a heavy glass jar, this cream has a silky texture with a slightly silicone feel, which makes it glide beautifully but can pill if overapplied. It has no strong fragrance and absorbs quickly.
I always layer it over the serum — together they work wonderfully. The cream doesn’t clog pores or cause irritation; instead, it provides balanced hydration and nourishment. My dry skin feels comfortable and supple. Two to three pumps are enough for the whole face.
🧡 Overall Results
I introduced retinol slowly — once a week at first, then up to 2–3 times weekly. After two months, my skin has visibly improved: it’s smoother, clearer, softer, and more even. Fine lines have diminished, and new breakouts have almost stopped appearing.
For my dry and sensitive skin, this is a perfect introduction to retinol — gentle but effective.
💰 Price: varies by region (approx. €20–25 per product)
⭐ Rating: 5/5 — excellent beginner-friendly retinol set
