Reviews

I’ve been using this

"I’ve been using this Retinol Night Cream Level 2 for about a month now and I can already see a difference. The fine line between my eyebrows looks much softer, almost gone, and my skin overall looks smoother and more even. The texture feels comfortable and not too heavy, and it doesn’t dry out my skin like some retinol products can. My skin looks more fresh and healthy, and I’m really happy with the results so far."

— Rehina K. (5/5)

This is a great

"This is a great stepping stone within a retinol routine. I’d recommend starting with step one since it has a lower concentration, then working your way up to this—this formula contains 0. 3% retinol, so it’s a nice next level. I love that it’s fragrance-free, and the thinner texture absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling heavy. It’s beginner-friendly and an easy way to start incorporating retinol into your routine."

— Angie K. (4/5)

This has been so

"This has been so nice to use, I really love the Fig 1 levels they have because it makes it easy to build up to a stronger percentage as your skin gets used to it. I have tried tretonoin in the past and quit because of the side effects, my skin would peel and be red and irritated. That didnt happen with this at all. I have noticed an overall brighter complexion and some diminished fine lines and wrinkles. I had no issues with level 2 and now am on level 3."

— Stacey B. (5/5)

I was a fan

"I was a fan of Fig. 1’s Level 1 Retinol, but like Level 2 even better. The transition was seamless and thanks to the easy to replace refillable containers, I was able to sway out Level 1 for Level 2 with ease. Apparently, the mark of a good retinol is the color. The more yellow, the stronger it is. Level 1 was white, but Level 2 is a buttery yellow. I’ve used it every night for the past couple of weeks and there’s still no irritation."

— Judith V. (5/5)

This is my first

"This is my first time using a retinol, and it's a pretty good retinol for beginners. My skin is mostly dry, with some uneven texture and dark spots. The retinol is non-drying and non-irritating, and I saw some improvement to texture after using it for a few weeks. I'll probably need a few more weeks to see significant improvement, but overall it's so gentle that it'll be easy to continue using. The refillable container is nice, but the cap is pretty loosely fitted."

— Sarah L. (4/5)

This Retinol Night Cream

"This Retinol Night Cream has made such a nice difference in my skin. I’ve noticed that the wrinkles around my eyes look much softer, my overall skin quality has improved, and I’ve been getting fewer breakouts. My skin feels smoother, looks healthier, and seems more even overall. I love using it at night and waking up with skin that feels refreshed and cared for."

— Alla J. (5/5)

I’ve been using this

"I’ve been using this cream for a few weeks now and have definitely noticed a difference in my skin. I had noticed my skin is smoother and a few darks spots are noticeably less dark. The cream feels nice on skin. It’s not a heavy face cream but a great consistency to keep my skin hydrated all night long."

— Jen C. (5/5)

I’ve been using this

"I’ve been using this retinol and I’m really impressed with how well it works without feeling too harsh. Even though it’s a higher percentage, it still feels surprisingly gentle on my skin. It absorbs nicely, doesn’t leave irritation, and my skin looks smoother and more even by the morning. I think it’s a great step up if you’ve already used milder retinol and want something a bit more effective."

— Kate M. (5/5)

After using this night

"After using this night time retinol cream on my skin for a few weeks, I definitely see an improvement in the texture and fine lines and wrinkles. My skin feels smoother overall. I would definitely recommend this night time retinol cream to anyone looking to add retinol products to their skincare night time routine."

— Melanie B. (4/5)

I’ve been using this

"I’ve been using this product for about a month, and I must say I am very happy and impressed! The texture of this retinol night cream is so smooth and creamy, the skin absorbs it beautifully and even the next morning my skin looks so supple. I don’t struggle with sensitive skin so maybe I am not the best to report on that but I found zero irritation and over the past week or so I’ve seen my skin feeling and looking even and less visible fine lines."

— Gaby O. (5/5)
