Beginner Retinol Products

[RAWRitsRED]

My mom is in her early 50's and is interested in trying some retinol products for the first time.  She would prefer them to be Japanese brands such as Shiseido or SK-II but is open to learning about other brands that have high standards.  Since this is her first time, products with low doses of retinol would be great.  She currently doesn't have too many wrinkles or fine lines and does a great job of taking care of her skin.

Her skin type is mostly normal but can be a tiny bit oily.  Her skin concerns are aging, pores, skin elasticity and wrinkles/fine lines.

• Hado Labo Tokyo Anti Aging Hydrator
• Gokyujyun Alpha Facial Mask Hado Labo
• Cosrx Real Fit Retinol Serum <-- this came out last month
