What do you think of this product?

Good ingredeints but the percentages seem quite low, especially the retinol, I have been using Consult Beaute Regenerol which is 3%.  Another good one is Nakery Double Retinol.  I have used Bakuchiol but never mixed with retinol.  Also is it a good idea to mix C and Retinol in same product ? Do these counteract each other ?

I switched to this because the biossance retinol had retinal and it irritated my skin. I love it.

With the added peptides and vitamin c it’s a really good well rounded product

It looks like it could be promising. Retinol and bakuchiol used together boost each other's efficacy plus the bakuchiol can reduce any irritation, if any, from the retinol. It's a good combination all around. It has THDA vitamin C which has a neutral pH, compatible with the other ingredients.

Does vitamin C cancel out retinol?

Experts usually advise against using retinol and vitamin C together. This is because the different PH requirements of the two ingredients usually end up rendering each other ineffective. However, this only happens if you use retinol and vitamin C at the same time — not in the same routine.

Sillie, at the same time you posted I found what I posted.

To be honest, the percentage of retinol in the Paulas Choice serum is so very low, I cant imagine that it can be effective.
