Hi the title says 5% but the bottle shown in the picture says 2%. Can you confirm which it is please as i want the 5%. Thanks Di

You can get both 5% and 2%. I personally got 5% which is strong and does the job. Leaves skin clear and smooth.

Hi, the label says 5% Retinoids but in the small print below it says 0.5%. Could you please explain this?

0.5% is five percent otherwise it would be fifty percent

Will anti-aging face creams with spf 30 and uv protection be ok to use with this. normal suncream can be very drying. thanks

Yes. You differently need to use protection from the sun with this. Don't use this product in summer, or if you know that you will be in the sun. It can cause bad skin damage. So be careful.

I noticed dark particles in the product that I did not see when I first purchased it. It is almost like it has very fine dark grey or black particles.

You don’t say what your question is. If it’s did mine also have black bits in it…. The answer is, I don’t remember that, so probably not.
