I love trying new sunscreens and after accidentally destroying my skin barrier a few months back, I've started really paying attention to ingredients. When I saw Round Lab had a new sunscreen that claimed to help collagen production (ROUND LAB Camellia Deep Collagen Firming Sun Serum), I expected to see Adensine on the ingredient list. But to my shock I saw a retinol derivative 'Hydroxypinacolon retinoate'. It is indeed a weak retinol derivative. I am very confused because you're not to expose retinol to UV rays or at the very least add sunscreen as your last layer. Putting retinol in the sunscreen seems very counterproductive. It will either be inactivated or increased skin sensitivity. It doesn't make sense to me. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I have found that Kbeauty is very bad a warning consumers against retinol and often I don't realized something has retinol (or it's derivatives) until I read the ingredient list.

I honestly really love Round Lab as a brand. They’re Mugwort Calming Mask, Soybean Nourishing Mask and Soybean Panthenol Mask single-handedly brought my destroyed skin barrier back from utter destruction.
