APLB Mandelic acid retinol facial cream

This cream pairs gentle exfoliation via mandelic acid with rejuvenating retinol (in their “Mandel Retin Cen™” complex, around ~29 % of the total formula).  The texture is described as a lightweight but nourishing cream that absorbs well, leaves skin feeling smoother and works overnight for renewal.  It is marketed as fragrance-free and suitable for “all skin types” including sensitive skin—but with strong actives, use caution. 

Good for: skin showing uneven texture, early signs of ageing (fine lines, dullness), and anyone wanting gentle resurfacing + renewal. Less ideal for: very dry skin (some users found dryness or roughness) or those new to retinol/acid without building a buffer; also, pregnant or breastfeeding users should avoid retinol.
