VITAMIN A/RETINOLS – OTC 0.5%-1% (STRONG)

Hi All!

Vitamin A Housekeeping:

All of the brands featured responded to my questionnaire and I am very grateful. Not all disclosed the % of their vitamin A ingredients so where possible I have alluded to the placement on the inci list on the packaging.

All of these products will get an individual review on the blog (if they are not already featured). I am working on them solidly, so bear with.

Do not forget your SPF. Seek your physician’s advice if pregnant or breastfeeding.
