What the gurus are saying

The serum delivers visible texture improvements and a glowing effect, but its sticky finish complicates layering and retinaldehyde strength means SPF is a must for sensitive skin. Some enthusiasts become repeat buyers despite these quirks; others find the irritation too much early on.

"It's a nice water-light serum with no scent. [...] It's kind of a multi-phase serum. [...] It's super nice. A little bit goes a long way. It's 16 bucks. This bottle lasts a long time. A lot of retinols are thick, they're creamy, you don't get much more than a few weeks out of them but that one will last you a little bit longer."

"You have to shake it. The texture is sticky, like hair sticking sticky, so oily skin should be aware, and on my sensitive dry skin I peeled on day three from the retinol, so SPF is a must. My quick verdict is powerful but irritating."

"Recently over the past year I have discovered a retinaldehyde serum from Purito that works really well for me [...] on my neck and upper chest, and I find that I get along better in these more sensitive areas with a cosmetic like this, which is notoriously a lot gentler than prescription tretinoin."

Real Skincare Questions Answered by a Board-Certified Dermatologist
"And it also has sort of brightened it up a bit as far as just evening out overall skin tone. The skin appears a lot more moisturized, smooth. [...] It's an interesting formula. You need to shake it up first, but it has these little spheres in it that contain the retinaldehyde. Tranexamic acid, we think of it as a medication given orally for melasma hyperpigmentation. But topically, it shows promise for improving the moisture barrier and may be beneficial for redness as well."
Dermatologist Skincare Empties: What I Repurchase and What I Skip
"Purito has just won my heart with this Purito niacinamide 10 retinaldehyde serum. [...] This is a retinaldehyde serum. Retinaldehyde is a cosmetic prod drug to retinoic acid. Your skin can convert it to retinoic acid. It only takes one step to do that. In contrast to prescription retinoids, it is less irritating and can work the same as far as improving the appearance of aging skin or wrinkles."
Dermatologist Skincare Empties: What I’d Repurchase and What I’d Skip
"This is a retinaldehyde serum from Purito. I was really surprised by this and I am on bottle number two. The retinaldehyde can get converted to retinoic acid in the skin, improve collagen, improve the visible signs of sun damage. I use a topical retinoid on my face, so I don't put this on my face. The reason I don't put topical retinoid on my chest is that I find they're very irritating."
Dermatologist Answers Your MOST Googled Skincare Questions (Dark Spots, Pores, Barrier Repair)
"The serum has kind of a tacky finish to it which feels sticky on the skin. Just something to be aware of in terms of layering. Given that this has retinaldehyde, you want to make sure to start using something like this slowly. Maybe introduce it a couple of nights a week and work up gradually to using it every single night as tolerated because in the beginning it will cause, through the increase in cell turnover, your skin to be a little bit dry. That is a temporary side effect."

"So I would take basically the entire dropper full, one squeeze, drop it down the front of my chest and massage it in every single night. And that melted away those little bumps for me. And so I just reordered this."
I Finished These Skincare Products... Here's My Verdict
"The skin almost immediately looks glowing, smooth, and supple, and the following couple of days my upper chest looks a lot more moisturized, smooth, and toned, with the little fine lines less obvious. [...] As someone with atopic dermatitis, I [...] have found that this has smoothed out the follicular prominence on my upper chest and I'm less itchy there as well. I think it's really helped the skin barrier. I will not stop using this."
Can You Use Retinoids on Your Neck?
