Limits of interpretation
The INCI list shows which ingredients are present, not how much of each. Above 1%, ingredients are listed in descending order of weight; below 1% the order is free.
The INCI list does not show the concentration used. Retinoids are sensitive to light and air, so the packaging and formula also matter.
