Reddit mentions of Baebody Retinol Moisturizer Cream with Retinol, Jojoba Oil & Vitamin E, 1.7 Ounces

Doc here. You should use an SPF 100 sunscreen every day. Even incidental exposure to UV radiation (sun) can damage the skin and cause it to age prematurely. Most sunscreens have a moisturizer component. The roughness you describe is probably from dry skin, so a moisturizer is definitely a must. Most higher-end moisturizers aren't greasy. You may also benefit from a retinol cream (at least for the face), which stimulates the production of new skin cells. As a general rule, you should always apply any moisturizer immediately after showering and drying. It will help it absorb better.

I use Neutrogena SPF 100+ every day on my face and body after my morning shower. And I add on a retinol cream for my face after both my morning shower and after my evening shower. The results have been pretty good.

If you search retinol moisturizer on amazon you will literally find this exact same product and bottle being sold under different brands.

I’m pretty sure it’s one of those scenarios where companies pay the same “supplier” for the right to slap their name on the same generic product. I have no idea how effective it is, but I would be careful with retinols.

I'm still a skincare newbie but I'm into:

• Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid (daily is my goal)
  
• Baebody Beauty Retinol Anti-Aging Moisturizer which I just found on Amazon recently and my face has never felt so hydrated in my entire life.
  
  I like to keep a pretty minimal skin care/makeup routine. I also have a handful of face masks, none that I'm over the moon about.
  
  I received these in a beauty box a while back and I wish I had more but I'm loving this new moisturizer so much I might not even need these eye pads! :)

What's your opinion of these three very popular products? (skin moisturizers, eye repair).

I have terrible dark circles under my eyes. I also have very sensitive skin that can get red.

During the day I use Instanatural's hyaluronic acid gel cream. Light moisturizers with a gel texture have been the best daytime options for my combination skin.

Finding a night moisturizer that didn't exacerbate my acne was more of a lengthy trial-and error period for me. I've been using Baebody's retinol moisturizer and it hasn't increased my breakouts at all. I think there are quite a few near-identical retinol products on the market as well.

If you're only having to deal with acne and dryness, and your skin is otherwise holding up well, you're probably fine just using a gel moisturizer morning and night.

Edit-formatting

Can someone please explain what's the deal with these "retinol" creams you see all over Amazon, but don't offer any percentage and recommend to use them twice daily?

I am just now starting out with AB (I have a proper cleansing oil and a moisturizer in transit), and while my skin is okay and I even sometimes get compliments on it, I'd love to figure out what these tiny bumps are and how to get my skin to be much much smoother. I have no known allergies. I also have large pores that I'd love to shrink down. Any ideas??
