Others say it reduces pore size and fine lines, too.
People may question the necessity of everything from toners to double cleansers and primers, but the one skincare essential that’s never up for debate? Retinol. As the only topical anti-aging product with FDA approval, it’s a dermatologist-recommended step, and in so many shopper-loved formulas — including Innbeauty Project’s Retinol Remix 1 Percent Retinol Treatment: a creamy anti-aging serum that minimizes pores, wrinkles, rough texture, and age spots .

The crux of this Innbeauty Project formula is obviously retinol, but specifically a vegan type (the ingredient can be animal-derived) at a 1 percent intensity. Retinol is often associated with burns and hypersensitivity, so I understand (and empathize with) the apprehension of trying something new. But several shoppers say Retinol Remix is a rare formula that’s “not irritating but still [has] real results.”
Retinol is complemented by tranexamic acid, peptides, and centella asiatica (AKA cica). The result is sloughed-off dullness and reduced hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and smoother texture. Tranexamic acid doubles down on the dark spot-reduction, peptides encourage hydration and plumpness, and cica soothes and heals skin.
If you haven’t heard of Innbeauty Project before, I’m thrilled to make the introduction. It’s a six-year-old brand that first caught my eye with its cute, ultra-hydrating lip oils, and more recently thoroughly impressed me with the most transformative moisturizer I’ve tried in eons. I haven’t gotten around to its Retinol Remix Treatment yet, which after reading hundreds of reviews, seems like a missed opportunity for the potential agelessness of my skin.
Innbeauty Project’s Retinol Remix Treatment is a hit with shoppers of all ages. A 59-year-old shopper said this product is responsible for their “youthful appearance,” so much that “no one believes [their] age.” Another shopper said this made their skin “feel tighter… softer and smoother.” A Sephora shopper saw an “improvement in pore size, acne, and fine lines” without irritation after using Retinol Remix for six weeks.
