The Esmi Resurfacing R0.25% retinol serum is the perfect introduction to the Esmi Retinol Serum range especially if you're new to retinol or have sensitive skin as it is formulated with 100% encapsulated retinol to increase skin cell turnover and stimulate collagen synthesis for a fresher, firmer complexion. Superior to standard retinol, encapsulated retinol has enhanced bioavailability and stability. The retinol is enclosed in tiny capsules which allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin layer before being activated. This is ideal for sensitive skin as it maximises skin benefits while minimising surface dryness, irritation, and flaking associated with a traditional retinol serum.

This product is amazing. I have been using this product for just over a month now to treat the butterfly shaped Melasma pigmentation on my face that I developed after having my tubes tied. I was skeptical to start with if this product would work, but it has definitely exceeded my expectations.I was lucky also I have minimal skin irritation using it as well just a small amount of dry skin and and skin sensitivity but I barely can notice that anymore.Thankyou! I even started to not wear make up again and feeling a little more confident taking photo’s makeup free and with out a filter

I wondered how good retinol could be. I afforded the 25% and applied the pearl sized droplets of the beautiful milky liquid. I couldn’t believe the results even after one and a couple of night time application. The deep furrows between my eyebrows and in particular the forehead lines I’ve had since I was 10 were noticeable less!!! Crazy hey!! Totally recommend this product x Treat yo’self Doll ! You deserve it :)

At first I was hesitant in purchasing this product as I have used a retinol in the past from another brand and it really damaged my skin. I worked with the skin consultant team in repairing my skin barrier as it had been damaged. Once my skin was healed I contacted them about this product and was advised to start on level 1 and use every second night on its own. One thing that helped me was knowing it is a Encapsulated Retinol and that esmi have different levels which makes it so easy. My skin feels amazing the next day and I have sensitive skin since my barrier had been damaged and I have not experienced any irritation or flaking skin.

This retinol has been a game changer in my skin care routine. I have used another popular less expensive brand in the past and wish I made the switch to esmi encapsulated retinol sooner. I use it every second night and have noticed a reduction in redness and pigmentation after just a couple of weeks with no reaction to it at all. And my skin just looks so much healthier.
2 weeks in using level 1 retinol and I can already see my skin brightening up from its dull looking winter skin. Such an amazing product. I can’t wait to see the change once I’ve been using it longer. Highly recommend
I have been using esmi products for over a year and they have made such a difference to my skin! I love all of their products and switch between many depending on what is occurring for my skin. I apply retinol every second day of an evening alongside my probiotic skin mylk (anti redness) which I use morning and night. I also regularly apply the hydrating moisturiser of an evening. They are my favourite products if I had to choose a few!! My skin so so much brighter and hydrated, I no longer have regular breakouts! The pictures speak for them self ❤️
I have been using this for almost a year now and it’s perfectly suites on my skin. I have a combination skin and sometimes sensitive. This doesn’t irritate my skin also because I start from level 1 n slowly went up. I use it almost every night and the result is amazing. Can feel tightness in my skin
I had been using the ordinary retinol for a while and hated the greasy feet of it. I love this product because it absorbs well, is non greasy and I noticed a difference in my skin within a few days. if you're new to retinol I'd definitely recommend starting at the level 1 and working your way up, this is a potent encapsulated retinol and even though I had been using retinol previously I still got some dryness for the first few days. looking forward to moving up to the level 4 when I'm finished this bottle!
I’ve used a few retinols over the years and have always given up on them because they irritate my skin but desperately wanted to get into it as it’s so beneficial for acne and anti-aging. I saw this low dose one and the step process and thought ‘maybe this is finally the one?!’ with hesitant optimism but I’m so excited to say, it was! I started using it a couple of times a week but within two weeks I was using it every night! Yes, I experienced a minor acne purge and some dryness on my nose but a month in, and my skin is so smooth, acne improved by a mile. Kudos to Esmi for the ‘steps’ idea to support gentle introduction to retinol, I’ve just purchased step 2 and I’m itching to see continued improvement now my skin is finally tolerating retinol!

Long review, but I know I’m not the only one to have had challenges with retinol use and personally appreciate an honest, detailed review. The hylaluric (probably spelt that wrong lol) is a great addition to use after applying this and followed with a night cream for additional hydration of an evening :)
First time using retinol and this has been so gentle and has not caused me to break out. I have sensitive, acne prone skin and this has been beautiful. You wake up with silky smooth skin that looks and feels renewed, regenerated and refreshed.Can’t wait to move to the next level 😊
