  1. Litha (verified owner)

    Love it! Skin feeling and looking smooth. pigmentation much better.

  2. Farah (verified owner)

    I cannot rave enough about this retinol. I am on my second bottle and will only be using this particular one for the foreseeable future. It has made a huge difference to my skin and it’s non-irritating! Love the texture too.

  3. Mirriam (verified owner)

    My first time using a retinol product and a sk.in product after so many recommendations and I do not regret this purchase!

  4. Farah (verified owner)

    This product is insane. It’s a miracle in a bottle, with zero irritation. I’m amazed at how my skin has improved. It’s visibly improved texture, smoothness, fine lines and pigmentation since I started using it about 2 months ago. I doubt I will change my retinol choice to any other besides this one!

  5. Nicole (verified owner)

    Love the product. It has made the world of difference to my skin.

  6. Raabiyah (verified owner)

    Good retinol. Over time gets rid of fine wrinkles

  7. Kelemental (verified owner)

    This one was an investment product for sure, and I was hesitant at first because of the price tag but I have no regrets! I have had no adverse reactions so far, and I use it in conjunction with AHA exfoliator. Excited to graduate to Flash 2! I’m just sad I didn’t start using it sooner.

  8. sgovender3 (verified owner)

    I have been using this product for awhile now, firstly great product and will away be part of my night time regime.
    I comment previously concerning the old pump bottle which I wasnot really happy with.
    The wonderful team at Skinmiles especially Olivera and Dr Alek sent me a replacement which is now package in a much nicer and easier pump bottle.
    No more wastage of product. Great customer service and they literally go to any lengths to satisfy their customers.

  9. Yvonne (verified owner)

    Lovely starter product, no irritation or sensitivity, can’t wait to continue my journey with this lovely range

  10. Lee (verified owner)

    Excellent starter retinol – I had almost no irritation; only a few very smaller dryer than usual patches that went away quickly. The writing can rub off on the packaging, but that has no effect on the product of course. I enjoyed it so much that I absolutely couldn’t wait to level up to flash 2.

  11. Aleshia (verified owner)

    A very gentle but effective product. Works well on my sensitive skin. Does not tingle or cause dryness.

  12. sgovender3 (verified owner)

    Amazing vitamin A serum. I love that my skin doesnot flask or tingle when using this serum. My skin seems to be improving in texture. However I am not a fan of the pump bottle.

  13. DerryAnn (verified owner)

    This is a great vitamin A serum for first time users or those with a more dry, sensitive skin like me. I have experienced zero sensitivity and have enjoyed using it. My skin texture has also improved.

  14. Amelia (verified owner)

    I used to use Retin A 0.05 and had to put up with the constant flaking. It’s a thing of the past since starting to use the repair shot. Now I get the benefits of retinol without any flaking or discomfort. A super find!

  15. Michelle Visser

    Been using this for a while at night. It is impressive and not causing any irritation or extreme dryness like some serums do. Yet again Ski.n is my favorite go to products.
