"Retinol naturally has a distinctive chemical smell that some people notice more strongly in potent formulas. This scent comes from the retinol itself, as well as the ingredients and preservatives used to stabilize it."
"That said, I have heard retinoic acid- and retinol-containing products described as having a vinegar or garlic-like smell. This depends on the product formulation - the stability of the product, combination of ingredients, delivery system, etc."
"A top-notch sensorial experience is important. After all, retinol works best when you actually use it, so if the scent or texture keeps you from applying, that's an important factor to address."
