Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate is an emollient for skin moisture.
The rest the ingredients are for texture and preservatives. 


Texture: Opaque white lightweight soft cream  that melt into the skin without any residue.  No added fragrance so it smells like most scentless products.
Review: It is a very gentle retinol moisturiser for everyday usage.  The ingredients in this products provides enough moisture without adding any other heavy cream.  I find it non irritating, doesn't burn my skin, no flaky skin, makes my skin looks brighter, smoother, reduce fine lines and even out skin tone.  It is not for preventing acne though so I do need to use my other acne products with it.  I avoid using applying retinol after I use strong BHA&AHA.
Overall:It is a good starting retinol anti aging products without the irritation that comes with stronger retinoid product.
