I currently use beauty of Joseon retinal eye cream but I have been considering 

the Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye cream (comes in diff strengths). It is very popular eventhough its pricey. Even the budget dermatologist recommends that it is worth splurging on.

Derma Factory seems like a good one to try in the beginning, .03 % with other good, gentle ingredients, K Beauty ony $11 for an oz, good reviews.  Amz.

I saw another chart, there is actually a Strength 1 all the way up to Strength 20.

@Shelbelle  - I'm using the Naturium retinal product - 0.15%.  It's not real strong but seems to be fine for me.


Hi, Judy, .15 is quite strong, this is the highest level that Naturium makes.

@Shelbelle  - Is it strong?  I didn't think that it was, thought there were a lot of stronger ones out there.  Started with the lowest dose and then worked up to it.   My skin doesn't seem to be bothered by it.

Yes, it is very strong, highest this brand makes, and on the chart I read .20 is the highest ever. Some brands stop at .10

I have pretty tough hide, but retinol makes me flake and peel.   I stick with collagen and peptides.
