Isabella, an esthetician on TikTok, criticized several beauty products including retinol wipes, KylieSkin, Mario Badescu, and a microdermabrasion tool from Conair. She claimed these products could be harmful to users' skin and advised against their use.

Isabella questions the use of retinol in makeup wipes because retinol is a potent anti-aging ingredient that may not be effective for removing makeup. Retinol is a form of vitamin A that is typically used in skincare products for its skin-smoothing effects, fading dark spots, and treating acne. However, it is not commonly associated with makeup removal, and its effectiveness in that regard is questioned.

SeoulCeuticals states that retinol is a valuable ingredient in skincare routines, as it is a derivative of Vitamin A and is highly effective in anti-aging efforts. It helps to accelerate skin renewal, improve skin's barrier, and clarify the skin. However, they also note that retinol is not effective in removing makeup from the face.
