great retinoid for sensitive skin despite the name

i’m on my second bottle of this. tbh it’s the only retinoid/retinol product my skin has ever been able to tolerate - i have sensitive skin and rosacea. usually retinoids make my skin hurt and it becomes even more sensitive. this one my skin actually tolerances and does well with, it’s gentle enough but i know that it still works bc my skin gets the initial sting (that goes away quickly) when i put it on my skin. taking a star off only bc of the name - it’s very tone deaf and insensitive marketing during these times but yeah i would keep buying just bc i need a retinoid and like i said this is the only one i can use

Smaller Pores & Smoother Texture

I've been using Sunday Riley's A.I. Adaptive Retinoid Serum For Blemish Prone Skin for about two weeks now. I was using Sunday Riley's A+ High-Dose Retinol Serum and have been using it for years - about five years. I am 52-years-old and I'm still getting acne here and there. I've been using the AI Adaptive Retinoid Serum and found it to be lightweight and absorbs well. It doesn't feel sticky, heavy, or greasy. I have noticed the pores on my nose and the sides of my nose are smaller. Usually by the end of the day I can see those pores, but not with this serum. Also, the overall texture and tone of my skin is even. So my makeup wears smoother. It also helped heal some zits I had on my chin. Another great product from Sunday Riley.
