I recently tried the FIG 1 Nightly Retinol Cream Starter Kit — Level 1, and I’m genuinely impressed for a first-time retinol experience! The texture is smooth and cooling going on at night, and it didn’t sting or irritate my skin even the first couple nights. I noticed my complexion looked more even and a bit smoother within the first week without feeling dry or flaky. This formula felt gentle enough that I could use it every other night (like recommended) without any redness. I also appreciated that it didn’t have a strong smell, and the packaging makes it easy to keep track of your routine week-by-week. Moisturizer paired nicely with it too, so my skin stayed calm. If you’re new to retinol and nervous about dryness or irritation, this Level 1 set feels like a confidence-boosting first step. Would definitely recommend for beginners or sensitive skin testers!

I finally found a retinol that actually works for my sensitive skin. Previous ones caused irritation, but this one—recommended by a friend—feels comfortable and effective. I’ve already moved to level 2, and my skin looks more radiant with visibly smoother fine lines. Highly recommend ✨
Love how creamy and comfortable this feels on my skin! It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized, and it’s been a great addition to my nighttime routine.
Great retinol product, love that you can work up to a higher % of retinol to get your skin used to it!
I’ve been wanting to add retinol to my routine without overwhelming my skin, and this set was the perfect place to start. I like that it gradually increases the strength, so my skin had time to adjust without excessive irritation. The formulas feel lightweight, absorb well, and didn’t leave my skin feeling dry. After a few weeks, my skin looked smoother, more even, and my complexion had a healthy glow. If you’re new to retinol and want an easy, beginner-friendly way to introduce it into your skincare routine, I’d definitely recommend this set.
I received this product in exchange for my review. Very nice introductory retinol. Love the packaging. Very light and nice scent no irritation experienced.
I have a very sensitive skin and this retinol is working perfect for my skin, non irritation at all. I will continue using it until finish the bottle and will try to use FIG 2.
In my first experience with retinol products, I encountered mixed reviews, which left me uncertain about my expectations. Initially, I noticed a slight flush and redness on my skin within the first two days of use. After a three-day break, I resumed the product and observed no adverse reactions. Notably, my skin appeared more supple. I continued using Fig 1 Beginner every other day until I completed the product, and I was pleasantly surprised by the results.
This is my first experience with a retinol and loved how it applied. Thankfully I didn’t have any common side effects since it’s so gentle and low dose for beginners. The product is very easy to use and had no strong scents that could irritate my skin. Will be continuing to use it
At first you may break out a little bit but the more you use it the clear your skin will get. I love the consistency there's not really a cent much and it's great for any skin types.
