DR. ANDREW WEIL FOR ORIGINS - Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Face Lotion: LOVE!
Note - This is for the specific FACE LOTION ($68 at Origin's Website). Unfortunately, I ordered the serum version and the serum did not provide any redness relief. Thankfully, Origin's has a no-question asked 1 year return policy, so the serum was returned.
Current Testing

Retinoids: Retinoic Acid/Tretinoin (Strongest), retinaldehyde, retinal, retinyl palmitate/retinol (weakest)
AHA/BHA: increases support for cell turnover; Antioxidants Vit C, Vitamin E, and Niacinamide help skin brightening effects. Peptides.
Anti-inflammatory: bisabolol Anti-Redness: camomile Soothing: ceramides, aloe, allantoin
GOOD MOISTURIZER: upper layer of the skin (this is called Trans Epidermal Water Loss); Cobamamide/Urea;
inhibits collagen-destroying enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs, that are increased by UVB) and it's also proven to boost the skins own collagen synthesis.
Note: for skin to benefit, retinoid must convert into Retinoic Acid/Tretinoin/Retin-A. Retinol (weakest retinoid) converts to Retinal (middle tier retinoid) and then into RETINALDEHYDE. Showing that retinaldehyde as effective as tretinoin. https://www.byrdie.com/retinaldehyde-for-skin-4770963
Note: tretinoin is a naturally occurring thing and can be found in good quality rosehip oil; bakuchiol (plant based) shown to benefit skin like tretinoin
