DIME's TBT Clean Retinol Alternative Cream is a retinol alternative that gives you all the benefits of a retinol cream minus the harshness.
Benefits
- Helps accelerate skin cell turnover
- Assists in plumping and firming the skin
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Helps to regulate sebum production
- EWG VERIFIED
Key Ingredients
- Bakuchiol: A natural alternative to retinol derived from the Psoralea Corylifolia (Babchi) plant. It has been shown to have similar effects as retinol, without irritation. Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
- Apple Fruit Stem Cell Extract (Malus Domestica Fruit Stem Cell Extract): Signals your own skin stem cells. It also combats the appearance of aging and deep wrinkles. Topical application has been shown to reduce the appearance of crow's feet wrinkles with daily use.
Formulated Without
- Sulfates: DIME products never contain skin irritating ingredients such as sulfates. Sulfate-free products are gentle on the skin, and can help decrease the chances of an allergic reaction.
- Parabens: Certain parabens have been linked to hormone disruption. DIME prohibits all parabens, including Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Isopropylparaben, Methylparaben, and Propylparaben.
- Fragrance: DIME never uses any form of fragrance, natural or synthetic, in any facial skincare products.
- Phthalates: Certain phthalates (like Dibutyl Phthalate, aka DBP, or DEHP, and DEP) appear on product labels, but most typically remain unlisted, hiding under the term “fragrance.” Since some phthalates have been linked to hormone disruption, DIME avoids them.
Due to its exfoliation blend and high hydrational and repair properties, it is best to work through the night vs being disrupted by the day's free radicals. DIME recommends either applying after your night cream or alternating between DIME's TBT Cream and your night cream. Both layering and alternating products can be very beneficial for your skin.
As a Conscious Beauty brand, DIME features sustainable packaging. Once product is empty, rinse jar and toss into recycling bin.

- Q
I have been told that with regular retinol they say to use SPF with it. I know this is a retinol alternative but is using SPF an absolute necessity to use this product? I just want to make sure I don't mess up my skin!
- Asked by Christine
- Official Answer By DIME Beauty - Brand EngageHello, that is a great question! Our TBT Cream is a clean retinol alternative as the super star ingredient bakuchiol has been shown to give all of the same benefits as a retinol cream minus the harshness, so this product should not make your skin more sensitive to the sun. However, we do recommend always applying SPF every single day and reapplying every 2 hours if possible. We hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions!Was this answer helpful to you

Skin looks younger and healthier!
I've been looking for a new moisturizer because the one I've been using for months just didn't seem to be doing its job anymore, and I saw positive reviews for this one. jI didn't realize this was a "night cream" when I bought it until I read the fine print on the packaging, but it's part of my dail...

Meh
I really wanted to like this. I like how it felt when I applied to my skin so had high hopes. I started breaking out and even had some cystic spots, very rare for me. I let it go because I was using a new product but when the existing ones were not going away I went back to my cerave lotion and star...

New Skincare Staple
I randomly bought this because I was out of moisturizer and the reviews were so high. This is the best moisturizer I have ever tried. I normally get an eczema breakout from the cold/dry weather but have not since using this. I just bought another but it lasted me a good 4.5 ish months. It's a bit thick but absorbs into the skin very fast and reduces fine lines and helps my makeup look better.

Not for me
Worked great the first couple times i used it, then every time i would use it after i noticed more break outs.
Great product!
You really do have to follow the product directions (Use twice a week to start then ease into use). I have very sensitive combo skin so I have to be careful (I break out in a rash). Well, after using this product for over a month now, I can feel the difference in my skin. It's smoother and I feel like I'm not as oily prior to use. I only use it at night. The product itself is not greasy and a lot goes a long way. I have put this in my daily skin care regimen.
