Our review

A creamy 30 ml night serum with 0.25% retinol in an emollient base, plus several forms of hyaluronic acid, panthenol and a bouquet of flower extracts. It is widely recommended as an entry-level retinol at a low price; reviewers report smoother skin and few irritation problems, though the floral extracts and rose oil add potential allergens.

Packaging and what the product is

We could not access an official product page, so no photo is cited. Reviewers describe a plain pump bottle that dispenses smoothly; the serum itself is a creamy, almost fragrance-free emulsion. The product is sold as Next Level “Be Like Phoenix” Retinol 0.25%, 30 ml.

Ingredient analysis

The base is water, propanediol and glycerin with coco-caprylate/caprate, mango seed butter and soybean oil, emulsified with polyglyceryl-3 distearate and cetearyl alcohol. Retinol sits in the first third of the list, matching the declared 0.25%. Panthenol, four forms of hyaluronic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, tocopherol and hydrolysed glycosaminoglycans support it. Flower extracts (bitter orange, jasmine, lavender, peony, cherry blossom, elder) and rose oil appear mid-list. Preservation: dehydroacetic acid, benzyl alcohol and ethylhexylglycerin; no ‘parfum’ entry.

What to watch out for

Retinol can cause dryness, redness and peeling, especially at the start; use it in the evening, introduce it gradually and use daily sunscreen. Under EU rules, retinol in face products is capped at 0.3% retinol equivalent, and packs must carry a vitamin A intake warning – this serum is within that limit. Retinoids are commonly avoided during pregnancy; ask a doctor. Rose oil and lavender extract can trigger reactions in fragrance-sensitive skin.

What users say

On Wizaż the serum had 4.5/5 from 97 ratings (checked 31 Oct 2026). Many reviewers chose it as their first retinol and report a smoother, more even-looking complexion after several weeks without major irritation, praising the light texture, convenient pump and low price. A few mention a slightly tacky film after application, and some note that effects take time. Serious irritation reports were rare in the reviews we read.

Who it may suit

Adults who want to try retinol at a gentle strength and are willing to follow a night-only routine with sun protection. Not suitable during pregnancy without medical advice, or for very reactive skin that reacts to plant extracts.
