$9.99

Retinol, a vitamin A-based cream or serum, is the most used and studied anti-aging compound, according to Harvard Medical School’s health blog. It also works, with researchers finding that it can reduce pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and other common skin imperfections. Trader Joe’s 0.3% retinol night serum is worth picking up based on its price alone. “After working in a dermatology office, I swear by (Trader Joe’s) retinol serum,” one Redditor writes. “It’s very similar to the $70 0.3% serum we sold. Luxury really is an illusion.”
